Non-Road Equipment Emission Regulations and Transitional Provisions

摘要

The United States And European Union (EU) arernimplementing significant regulations that mandate nonroad equipment with the lowest emissions in history. Canada and Japan are expected to release similar regulatory programs this year. These regulations, which are known as U.S. Tier 4/EU Stage IIIB/IV, will result in nonroad equipment approaching near-zero emissions of particulate matter and oxides of nitrogen.rnTransition to these standards is challenging for nonroad-equipment manufacturers. For some of the larger equipment manufacturers, this means hundreds of complex products with unique and challenging application spectrums must be re-engineered to accommodate the lower emitting engines being developed to meet these standards.
