Thank you for a great report on the health affect on the population
directly effected by TRU equipment.
I have a few points to be considered please.
1 - I can find not reference to the health of the TRU service
engineers - I was a service engineer for 12 yrs and every day you
would come home covered in diesel and exhaust soot - mainly from
the overcab units.
2 - I can find no reference to the drivers of the trucks and the
trailers especially the ones that spend nights out with the TRU
running behind them.
3- The report talks about the potential $ cost to California and
then looks at the reductions over a period of time when the concept
is applied. It make no reference to the fact that if that $ is
applied to removing the existing equipment now then mortalities and
long terms illness will be avoided. The TRU OEM manufacturers
Carrier and Thermo King both promote ZERO emission and Low GWP
equipment in the UK and EMEA area, but not in the USA. But there
are other OEMS that can provide alternative equipment's with ZERO
Emission and ZERO GWP. Any further questions then please get in
touch.
