Glider Kits and phase out dates?

I can tell you if you want a glider kit, now is the time. From my understanding. Kenworth and Peterbilt have stopped making glider kit chassis. So Freightliner is the only one left, and there about to stop making glider kits themselves.

 

Quote from EPA
"In place of the blanket exemption, EPA is proposing limited grandfathering of exising small businesses that currently install the used engines and other used parts into gliders. Under these special provisions, existing small businesses would be allowed to continue their production up to 300 assembled gliders per year under the same type of exemption that covered them in HD Phase 1. Any additional gliders an existing small business would produce (beyond their existing production rates or beyond 300 per year, as applicable) would need to meet the new proposed requirements for both engines and vehicles. These grandfathering provisions for existing small businesses should allow this industry to produce enough gliders to address legitimate purposes (e.g., salvaging engines and other parts from damaged vehicles). However, manufacturers that have significantly ramped up glider production in recent years to avoid EPA’s 2010 NOx and PM engine standards and other requirements, may need to alter their business practices."
