Canadian Trucking Alliance calls to consider enviroTruck when forming fuel economy standards
www.chinatrucks.com: On the heels of yesterday's historic announcement by US President Barack Obama that set fuel economy standards for heavy vehicles, the Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA) is calling on Ottawa to go a step further north of the border.
Canadian officials yesterday released a consultation document regarding what will be a very similar set of rules to what the US is introducing.
The CTA, however, points out the fuel economy standards being introduced affect only new vehicles, which are already very clean.
The Alliance would like to see measures to accelerate the penetration of new EPA2010-compliant tractors into the marketplace and incentives to retrofit older vehicles with fuel-saving technologies.
"We are still sifting through the mounds of material issued yesterday in the US and in Canada by the Environment Minister," said CTA CEO David Bradley.
