3 Topics Background Heavy-duty GHG Regulations SmartWay Technology Program & Updates Tire Research & Testing Future Communication Objectives 4/16/15 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 69
4 Background EPA Priorities Improving public health Reducing exposure to pollutants Improving air quality Reducing diesel engine emissions HC, CO, NOx, CO2 Particulate matter (PM) 4/16/15 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 70
5 Health Benefits Studies show reducing PM2.5 (including BC) prolongs life and promotes health: Fewer missed work days Fewer visits to health care providers Reduction in asthma symptoms Increased average life expectancy at birth Prevent premature deaths Health and environmental co-benefits accrue locally (in the region where emissions are reduced) 4/16/15 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 71
6 PM (g/hp-hr) EPA Exhaust Emissions Standards for Diesel Trucks & Buses uncontrolled NOx (g/hp-hr) 72
