New truck regs & how to meet them at Diesel Progress Summit

Last December, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized its strongest-ever national clean air standards to cut emissions from heavy-duty trucks, beginning with model year 2027. Eaton’s Dr. James McCarthy will address the standards, their broader implications and the technologies available to help meet them in his presentation at the fifth annual Diesel Progress Summit.

The theme of this year’s Summit is “Technologies of Transition”. Topics will include an update on battery technology, fuel cells’ use in power generation, balancing the energy transition and more. Roundtable discussions will highlight low- and zero-carbon fuels and advances in hydrogen combustion engines.

A further highlight of the event will be the annual Diesel Progress Summit Awards, which celebrate excellence and innovation.
