U.S. Army/TACOM LCMC Path Forward for Heavy Duty Diesel Vehicles/Engines

Abstract : The Environmental Protective Agency (EPA) finalized motor vehicle diesel fuel regulations and the heavy duty diesel on-road exhaust emissions regulations in January 2001. These regulations required a reduction in diesel fuel sulfur content starting in June 2006 and established stringent exhaust standards effective January 2007. This briefing looks at the impact of these regulations on the Department of Defense (DoD) and how DoD is meeting these challenges.
