Truckers wary as friendlier - but costlier - engines roll in

4/14/07

A new line of environmentally-friendly engines have been launched this year to clean up the trucking industry.
But companies gathered at Canada's largest truck show this week admit they are reluctant to buy the new engines because of their higher price tag and unknown fuel efficiency.
To satisfy regulations set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, all 2007 truck engines - sold in Canada or the U.S. - must reduce particulate matter, or soot, by 90 per cent over existing models. Each new engine - which comes with a diesel particulate filter to remove soot - costs between $7,000 to $10,000 U.S. more than a comparable 2006 model, depending on the size of the truck.
