Comment | On behalf of Breathe Southern California, I want to thank CARB for their efforts to move us towards a zero-emissions future. But we are facing a major diesel problem today, and we need near-term emissions relief in addition to a long-term strategy. Our best chance for near-term emissions reductions is to continue to allow 0.02 g/bhp-hr NOx engines to be eligible for HVIP funding. Graduating from 0.02 g/bhp-hr NOx engines to 0.01 isn't a sound strategy because 0.01 engines do not yet exist, and we will be missing an opportunity for near-term emissions reductions. Additionally, this new optional 0.01 standard was adopted recently, which means manufacturers don't have enough time to participate in the program this year or even next year. Let's keep the 0.02 standard at least for the time being because that's our best chance for short-term emissions reductions. Thank you for your consideration. |
