No, the EPA already has strict guideline for Diesel vehicles. The amount of pollutants out of Diesel Vehicles today are significantly reduced from where they were in the 1980's.

Yes, if it is on newer vehicles while providing funding to research how to improve them on older vehicles.

Yes, but not in a way that places the burden on low-income individuals and families who cannot afford newer, more fuel-efficient vehicles

If they (the government) are going to continue to require DEF Systems then they also need to require stricter quality control during the manufacturing of the devices. Presently DEF SYSTEMS restrict diesel vehicles from performing in a manner that is dependable. The DEF SYSTEMS as they are designed presently are prone to failure. For individuals and companies that use these vehicles for work, the down time to facilitate repairs cost lost wages because the vehicle is in the shop and not available for work.
