This week, I was pleased to read a letter from California's Air Resources Board (ARB) confirming acceptance of our 2010 emissions compliance strategy.
In the attached letter to our parent company, Navistar, Inc., ARB acknowledged that engines that use averaging, banking and trading (ABT) provisions comply with the 2010 emissions requirements. ARB added that engine families both using credits and creating credits are compliant and receive "an Executive Order making them legal for sale." Furthermore, our 2010 engines are considered Best Available Control Technology requiring no retrofitting and are essentially on equal footing with those at 0.20 g/bhp-hr of NOx.
We think this affirmation by ARB will resolve any doubts about the acceptability of credits for meeting emissions requirements. IC Bus is the only bus manufacturer who can meet 2010 emissions with an in-cylinder solution because we planned ahead for it. We have worked tirelessly to give our customers a solution that takes the burden of 2010 compliance off their shoulders.
We are incredibly confident in our 2010 emissions solution. And thanks to this letter from ARB, we think our customers will be, too.
