I had heard that the trucking industry's pleas may have put the October 2002 clean engine on hold or even cancelled? Reasons given were:
1. No one is buying the new EGR equipped trucks
2. As a result of 1., older trucks will continue to pollute thus negating the intent of the EPA
3. Total costs of 1 were grossly underestimated.
4. Need more time to develop better technologies.
Did the EPA back down???
