The Diesel Emissions Summit II

YOU NEED TO ATTEND THIS MEETING … TO DISCUSS THE FUTURE OF TRUCKING

The first Diesel Engine Emissions Summit, held in Phoenix in June 2003, was a standing-room-only affair that made headlines and energized the trucking industry’s preparations for complying with the new federal emissions and fuel regulations. We believe that Diesel Engine Emissions Summit II will be even more important.

This summit will be held in conjunction with the Technology & Maintenance Council’s annual meeting in Fort. Lauderdale on March 16.

The day-long sessions will examine how the industry weathered the implementation of the ’02 emissions rule and how all the parties are preparing for the introduction of ultra-low-sulfur diesel fuel in ’06 and the new generation of engines mandated by the reduced emissions standards that will go into effect in ’07.

Panelists will include the same caliber of key experts who attended the Phoenix summit, and we expect representation from all the major stakeholders.

Sessions will include:

• An evaluation by the General Accounting Office of how well the ’02 rule was implemented;
• A survey of trucking fleets on their experiences with the ’02 engines up to now;
• A report on how preparations for ’06 and ’07 are progressing, in the government’s view;
• A panel of fleet executives who will review the impact the ’02 rule had on trucking and discuss their plans for ’07;
• A status report on the activities of coolant, lube and fuel manufacturers;
• A panel of top executives from truck manufacturers;
• A panel of key executives from heavy-duty engine makers;
• The opportunity to question all panelists; and
• Much more.
