Emphasis in the proposed new regulations concerning emissions  from
consumption of diesel fuel in construction vehicles appears to
focus on retrofitting equipment to capture the emissions after
burning.

Recommendation:  

We urge inclusion of devices that effect fuel consumption per mile
or hour, create a reduction in emissions and increase fuel economy
be included in the list of acceptable retrofit devices in this
regulation.

There are a number of methods to reduce emissions from diesel fuel
consumption such as introducing hydrogen into the diesel as it
enters the combustion chamber. This method should be included in
the regulation as well as technologies to capture noxious
emissions after burning the fuel.
