This article was "pointed" at the trucking industry. But this part discusses "diesel" in general:


Robert Perciasepe, head of the EPA's air pollution office, said that the decision to
give manufacturers until 2007 to put in place the new test procedures won't
affect emission reductions.


"The bottom line is, the rule is a 40 percent reduction in nitrogen oxide emissions
from diesel engines," said Perciasepe in an interview. He said the tougher
emission standards the EPA is proposing for 2007 will require companies to
conduct more stringent pre-sale engine tests.
