The emissions saga continues..the gloves are off

This is a letter from Daimler Chrysler concerning the Federal Government's emission program. There are some technical oversights and some unhappy manufacturers. As mentioned before, you can still purchase a brand new pre-emission truck. For more information email msaks@ectts.com.

To the Trucking Industry:

We had a decade to prepare for 2010 emissions standards and all but one heavy-duty trucking manufacturer invested the time, money and brainpower to develop the best technology to meet stringent new requirements. All but one manufacturer, Navistar, came to the same solution that would best serve you, our trucking industry customers of North America.

Although we're competitors, the rest of us understood the importance of the larger cause, and we worked together to do our part to improve air quality for the safety of future generations. How can Navistar claim it's concerned about the environment while its proposed 2010 product spews two and a half times the 2010 NOx standard into the air we breathe every day?

Manufacturers, suppliers, government agencies and associations invested time and resources to develop innovations to achieve the emissions goal in spite of economic challenges because we know it's the right thing to do.

Navistar is selling thousands of pre-2010 engines, while the rest of the industry is selling EPA 2010-certified products. Navistar apparently has no EPA-compliant emissions technology for 2010 and beyond, at least nothing that does not use credits to achieve compliance.

Don't trucking industry customers of North America deserve better?
 
We believe you do. And, as an industry that prides itself on professionalism, integrity and honesty, we have every reason to demand the same of Navistar.

Respectfully,

Daimler Trucks North America LLC
