Now that Tuesday is here & gone there is talk about the new emission tier being adopted to the whole country.
What tier/standard are they proposing to adopt? California's C.A.R.B. standards.
There was plans laid out for this to possibly occur, but now with the election over it can become a reality.
Guess who started it, now in another 4 something's likely to come of this.
These new standards are prepared to possibly be implemented for the 2016 MY/CAFE standards change.
If they adopt it in it's entirety we're in trouble.
That means emissions testing for everything except;
Vehicles made in 1975 or prior
Diesel-powered vehicles manufactured prior to 1998
Electric vehicles
Natural gas powered vehicles weighing more than 14,000 pounds
Hybrids
Motorcycles
Trailers
Those emissions tests will include a visual, a 5 gas analysis in addition to OBD testing where applicable.
Also testing will more than likely have a fee attached to it pass or fail.
They may also require older medium/heavy duty diesels to convert to clean diesel technologies like California does now.
(^ That has hurt a lot of businesses in their state)
Hard to say what will be adopted & implemented but either way doesn't look good.
