Fitzgerald Gliders might be getting more attention than they’d like

Fake science: University disavows study EPA cited to approve old dirty diesels in "glider" trucks

 

Bribery?

University Pulls Back on Pollution Study That Supported Its Benefactor
I do believe they mixed something up.

Scratch that, it was just a misunderstanding, I thought they were saying the EPA paid for it and the rule was the banning of gliders, not their exception.

 

Is there a DEF group that we can link to lobbying and campaign contributions, or is this one sided?

 

I'm planning on getting a glider kit myself. Yeah its a rebuild on pretty much everything, but the difference is simply no emissions. I've suggested to many truckers. If you don't run California than theirs no need to buy a new emission truck. The fact that it is rebuilt from the ground up doesn't scare me. I want something reliable and doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure why something is not working correctly.

 

Hmmm, just thought of an idea, wonder if one could just go to Canada and get a good glider kit, bring it back and build it?

 

I didn't read 28 pages of discussion, forgive me if this has been mentioned. For quite some time now I have checked on the Daimler website for gliders, DTNAgliders.com regularly. About a week ago there has been a message that the website has been taken down due to technical issues. That strikes me as odd.
I do know that Daimler corporate in Germany had all but said they were going to phase out gliders no matter how the EPA ruling finally wound up. If Freightliner and Kenworth decided that that market just isn't worth the negative publicity, the EPA ruling is moot for Fitzgerald.

 

Then you'd have a sticky situation with something called red tape when you tried to import it.

 

You ever here of air and water currents?

There's power plants along the coasts that discharge warm water into the ocean at higher temperatures than the ocean ever gets on its own.

Those models are just computer aided guesses not an absolute certainty of what is going to happen. The computers were made and programmed by humans therefore they may have flaws.

I'm not saying the scientist are dead wrong just pointing out that there is more to this problem than emissions.
