    “Zeldin’s plan would not completely eliminate DEF systems, but would significantly extend the amount of time between when the system fails and when machinery capacity is reduced.”

    I’m guessing the plan is just let the trucks run until the DPF is fully clogged and derates itself..

    I’m picturing a lot of trucks in the future sputtering down the road because they can :)
