Clean Diesel Goes on Offense to Meet 2014 EPA Standards
Developing and manufacturing the clean diesel technology to meet 2014 EPA standards for construction, industrial and farm equipment was a complex and challenging process, according to several leading manufacturers exhibiting at the recent CONEXPO CON/AGG 2014 convention.
According to an industry organization, Diesel Technology Forum, the “end result has been advanced diesel engines and equipment in several hundred different off-road machines – from massive bulldozers to farm tractors to lawn mowers – that have near zero emissions under EPA’s Tier 4 Final standards which became mandatory this year.”
In addition, the group noted that “diesel manufacturers were able to achieve the lower emission standards while also improving engine efficiency.”
“Above all else this is about cleaner air and making more efficient machines which is greater for everybody,” said Brad Stemper, the Solutions Brand Marketing Manager for CASE Construction Equipment.
“This is the Tier 4 Final coming out party,” said Mike Osenga, the President of Diesel and Gas Turbine Publications.
