Reefers will have Def and DPF next year.

They probably will be Exempt..

 

I would imagine if they were smart they would install the def tank down by the fuel tanks and use either some sort of vacuum or small electric pump.

For the apus I'd suggest just putting in a pickup tube in trucks def tank

 

Actually RRs are dealing with tightening emissions standards as well.

Regulations for Emissions from Locomotives | US EPA

 

I can imagine how insane insurance claims will be... I think their approach in this sector should be left alone..

 

Time to start getting into the transloading business in partnership with a cold storage near you!

 

I thought Diesel engines under 75 hp are exempt from def. Thermo King offers a 8900 "green" solution to any/most Thermo Kings. I know it does NOT include Def

Wow. Glad I don't pull reefers anymore.

 

That was my understanding too at least from what I heard a year or so ago talking to a Carrier mechanic.

 

That's disgusting.

Sticking a baby bottle onto a reefer to meet emissions... Figures...

 

While I do not doubt what you heard keep in mind...
Just about every shop I've eer been in has more tall tales and rumor and b.s. stories than most truck stop counters.
Oh, I'm sure it will happen, but I won't believe it until I see the regulation (or even the proposal)
