Old Diesels Sold to Other Countries

The San Francisco Chronicle reported on August 12, that many California businesses with large diesel fleets such as rental companies and construction firms are selling older vehicles rather than retrofitting them to meet tough California Air Resources Board (CARB) regulations soon to go into effect. This means most aging diesels are being sold to states with less stringent air quality standards or to countries in Asia or South America. Although CARB’s new rulings will help decrease pollution in California, the act of reselling old diesel equipment is, in effect, the exportation of air pollution rather than solving the global problem of emissions control.
