This looks like a good way to get up to speed on CARB rules and what the latest technology is for Tier 4 engines and add-on equipment. AGC of America is offering the following on December 3. It’s not just California that will be affected:

Webinar: Off-Road Diesel Issues Facing the Construction Industry

Clean Diesel Technology, Regulations and Requirements

Wednesday, December 3, 2008 2:00pm – 3:30pm ET - Register Free

--Did You Know? Implementation of EPA's Off-Road Diesel Rule began in 2007 with the requirement to use Low Sulfur Diesel in all off-road equipment. Yet, engine manufacturers are still struggling to develop the emission-control technologies needed to meet EPA's "Tier 4" emission standards.* 

--In addition, in order to ensure optimum performance of new "Tier 4-approved" engine systems, oil refiners will need to start producing only Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel by 2010, which may create supply and distribution issues in the near future.

--The state of California and other agencies are already forcing contractors to "retrofit" in-use diesel equipment at the contractor's expense through new state regulations and contract specifications. If California's retrofit standards meet with Federal approval, other states may soon adopt and enforce.

--What does this all mean for you? Join AGC of America and the Diesel Technology Forum for a free webinar to learn about clean diesel technology and the regulations and requirements facing today's construction industry. 

*Tier 4 requires an unprecedented 90% reduction in construction exhaust from new equipment by 2014.
