--Who: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Mike Leavitt and Navistar International Corporation Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Daniel C. Ustian What: A press conference announcing the testing and development partnership between the EPA and International Truck and Engine Corporation concerning EPA's Clean Diesel Combustion (CDC) technology for low-emission diesel engines. This technology potentially will: -- Further the viability of diesel engines in passenger vehicles with near-zero emissions. -- Yield cost-effective light-duty and heavy-duty diesel power without NOx aftertreatment systems. -- Create additional skilled jobs in the U.S. diesel engine industry. Why: In 2007 and 2010 EPA standards will mandate that all on-highway diesel engines must achieve near-zero NOx emissions. Learn how CDC technology not only will help to meet these mandates but further increase the viability of clean diesel technology in light-duty and heavy-duty commercial and consumer vehicles like SUVs and passenger cars. The performance benefits of diesel are proven. With CDC, diesel power will solidify its bright future as the environmental and cost-effective choice in all types of vehicles.
