In an important first, EPA is including medium-duty vans and trucks in the same rulemaking as cars, SUVs, and light trucks.
“Suspicious” emission levels were found in at least 77% of tests of diesel cars in Europe
“Suspicious” nitrogen oxide (NOx) emission levels were found in at least 77% of tests performed on diesel cars in Europe. These excess emissions indicate the “likely use” of an engine calibration strategy that may now be classified as a prohibited defeat device based on recent rulings of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU).
