ordiesel -- Deadline for Guaranteed Double Retrofit Credit Approaching
Posted: 01 Oct 2008 17:17:45
In order to guarantee double credit for installation of retrofits, fleets subject to the in-use off-road diesel vehicle regulation must order them within the next month, before November 1, 2008. Fleets that wish to reduce their early year compliance costs should consider placing orders for retrofits in the next month. When a fleet installs a highest level verified diesel emission control system (VDECS) retrofit on an engine before March 1, 2009, the fleet will receive double credit. That is, the fleet will receive carryover retrofit credit equal to double the horsepower of the engine on which the highest-level VDECS is installed. This credit will mean that the fleet can delay required installations of retrofits in the future, thereby spreading out their compliance costs. If installation of a VDECS is delayed until after March 1, 2009 due to manufacturing delays, the fleet will still earn double credit as long as the order was placed before November 1, 2008. There are currently five Level 3 systems verified for off-road use: • Cleaire Horizon: Most on-road engines; conditionally verified for off-road engines; • HUSS Umwelttechnik FS_MK: Most on-road and off-road diesel engines through 2007 model year; • Engine Control System Combifilter: 2007 or older off-road engines; • Caterpillar DPF: Conditionally verified for 1996-2008 model years; off-road, rubber tired vehicles; and • DCL MINE-X Sootfilter: Conditionally verified for 1996-2008 model year, rubber tired off-road vehicles.
