Truckers collide with EPA over big-rig emission standards

03/01/23

    DTF was included in a February 28, 2023 report by CQ Roll Call titled Truckers collide with EPA over big-rig emission standards.

    Executive Director Allen Schaeffer was quoted multiple times in the news report. 

    He said, “Most anything that you do in the engine to reduce NOx emissions will have the adverse effect of increasing carbon dioxide emissions — the laws of thermodynamics and physics are what they are. The reality is that if you make the NOx standards so low, then you might have to worry about whether or not you're going to be able to meet a greenhouse gas requirement.”
