In the U.S., diesel engine emissions have been regulated for almost forty years. For most of that time, the regulations governed primarily on-highway engines, but in 1996 nonroad engines were also brought under the scope of the regulations. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defined these nonroad engines as those used in mobile and stationary equipment such as farm tractors, construction earthmovers, mobile generator sets on trailers, and other portable industrial engines used in temporary off-road applications.

This presentation addresses the EPA law as it applies to how users operate their equipment.

Presentations

An update on the new EPA/EPD rules
governing emissions and the impact to
on-site power plants.
