How Will EPA’s 2027 Ultra-Low-NOx Rule Affect Trucking?

- EPA's new diesel emissions rule sets very aggressive NOx reduction targets and gives engine makers a very short timeline to get it done. How will these changes affect fleets and truck makers?
The Environmental Protection Agency published its final rule on diesel engine NOx emissions late last year. Equipment Editor Jim Park talks with Patrick Couch, senior vice president of technical services at clean transportation consultants Gladstein, Neandross & Associates (GNA). He says the transition to ultra-low NOx engines will be manageable, but not without hurdles.
In This Episode:
• Can we build a low-NOx engine that keeps everybody happy?
• What happens if the engine makers can’t deliver?
• Will there be an alternative to Low-NOx diesels available before 2027?
• Can natural gas engines fill the gap?
• Is there a risk of a significant pre-buy?

Great interview. Thank you for this.
Amazing how Hyliion fits so seamlessly. And here we go with hydrogen always seems to be just 10 more years away so they say
Always a great interview
Hyliion is in a position...where if their Hypertruck ERX product is effective..Trucking firms should be ordering the heck out of it. Negative net carbon when used with RNG should certainly qualify for credits. I think most think it's gonna work but have doubts about Hyliion's ability to produce the thousands of units that will be demanded. The solution is elegant as hell. Cummins is going to make more money when an ERX is sold compared to a traditional diesel.
Team Hyliion
Very informative discussion. I guess we are going to see lots of new BEV trucks on the road pretty soon. I wonder about who is going to pay for all of the charging infrastrucure that will be incrediby expensive. And who is going to pay to beef up the grid?
I, as a trucker, would be ok with a propane fuel truck. I would not be okay with hydrogen. The pressure required for enough BTU'S to get down the road would be nearly suicidal. I'll pass.

Screw the epa
The new law will sell a lot of non petro trucks.
