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.


Learn more about SCR and watch real customers discuss the benefits of this technology, or see our full-page ad in the August 9th edition of Transport Topics for our complete statement on this issue.

Respectfully,

Daimler Trucks North America LLC

Survey Points to Strong Trailer Orders This Year - Truckinginfo.com

7/29/2010 Survey Points to Strong Trailer Orders This Year

Half of fleets surveyed plan to place orders for trailers before the end of this year, according to a recent survey conducted by CK Commercial Vehicle Research.

Respondents to the survey questionnaire represented small, medium and large for-hire, private and government fleets operating more than 155,000 trailers. For-hire fleets comprised 68 percent of the survey participants expecting to place orders for new trailers in the next six months.

CK Commercial Vehicle Research's 2010 Trailer Study includes charts, analysis and quotes from participants covering the changing dynamics of overall trailer demand, buying and specifying trailers, plans for adding new technology and how those decisions are made as well as fleet executives' view on current deficiencies in trailer design.

This makes a lot of sense......much too easy for govenment use!!!!

The politicians and other idiots will probably want to spend $Millions/Billions and more for a panel of engineers to study the problem, and then most likely won't find the simple solution these guys have....
