Gentlemen: In response to the Proposed Modified Regulatory Language
for 15-day Comment Period, I am writing on behalf of my company
Ventech USA. The Ventech USA Pneuscan system is the world’s most
innovative system for automatically and quickly measuring tire
pressure and tread depth. This system is being marketed presently
to California-based fleet operators, vehicle service centers,
rental car facilities, transit operators, airlines, etc. We applaud
the State of California for leading the world in reducing climate
change emissions through lowering fuel and maintenance costs and
wear associated with underinflated tires. Having said this, Ventech
is concerned that any revisions to the under inflated tire
regulatory program adopted earlier by CARB, be made to strengthen
the program and broaden its reach versus  weakening or limiting its
applicability. The technology to capture these carbon emissions is
available now through systems like ours. Please be aware that any
changes, no matter how small-seeming will be watched around the
world and will be a signal sent  that will impact our market and
more importantly the reduction of the all-important associated
emissions. We urge sensitivity to this impact and ask that no
changes to the program be made that limit the program’s reach.

 

Sincerely,


Kevin Krause

President, Ventech USA
