Not sure if this has been posted or not. I’m taking an Hybrid Electric Vehicle course here at PSU and our professor has been talking about PA adopting CA emissions since the begining of the semester. I guess it was signed into effect within the past couple of weeks. I searched and this was all the info I could find. Pennsylvania Adopts the California Emissions Standards for Automobiles September 20, 2006 Pennsylvania Governor Edward Rendell announced this week that the state’s Environmental Quality Board adopted the California emissions standards for automobiles beginning in Model Year 2008. The standards are part of the Pennsylvania Clean Vehicles Program, which sets standards for emissions of passenger cars and light-duty trucks. The program originated in 1998 under the auspices of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. Under the Clean Air Act 1990 Amendments, states are allowed to set vehicle emissions standards in accordance with national standards set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or with tougher standards set by California.

Yea, from my understanding there is more Development for heavy duty diesel emissions then light duty trucks. A lot of development is occuring for Diesel oxidation catalysts, and SCR systems with urea injection(reduces NOx emissons). It’s much harder to find those components sized for your everyday truck or SUV. Although I’m guessing now that this is going to come into effect there will be a lot more focus on it. Also from what I heard Mass. has some case going up against the supreme court trying to get the EPA to regulate greenhouse gasses. And I was just starting to like this global warming and 55 degree days in december ---

Most of the people I know just feel like the truckers are getting the same fuckin that we all are getting by this stupid shit. It’s just that you all are a bigger group with a common goal, so why don’t you all go on strike get the fuel prices down, and get that fat ass rendell out of harrisburg???
