Region 5 has reached an agreement with Anchor Glass Container Corp ., Lawrenceburg, Ind.
The alleged violations were discovered during a November 2004 inspection
by EPA and the Indiana Department of Environmental Management. And by 2007, manufacturers will have
reduced key exhaust components by another 90% -- further diminishing diesel's
role in local air quality concerns. Thanks to a remarkable industry-wide
investment in the research and development of state-of-the-art engines,
cleaner burning fuels and effective exhaust control devices, manufacturers
have developed clean diesel systems that are virtually emissions-free.

Rentar Launches Operation Port Solutions

There has been increasing pressure from some
environmental groups to mandate the installation of expensive
emissions control devices on all diesel engines in the ports.

As freight transportation is a very low margin

industry to mandate costly environmental regulations. With the new demonstration program, Rentar hopes to

EPA Reaches Agreement With Anchor Glass on Clean-Air Violations

With the recent rise
in fuel prices and increasing pressure from Washington DC and
Sacramento for cleaner air at the LA/Long Beach ports , the need for
cost-effective environmental solution is undeniable. More than 160,000 retrofits have occurred thanks to these and other
efforts.

by splitting complex hydrocarbon chains into smaller more easily
combusted component molecules. Since 1994, engines have been manufactured to operate smoke-free, and
tailpipe emissions from trucks and buses sold today have been reduced by over
80 % compared to engines built in the late 1980s.
The diesel industry is committed to continuing America's 30-year record of
clean air improvement.

The Problem:

The single largest source of air pollution in Southern California
is the twin ports of Los Angeles/Long Beach . WASHINGTON, Allen Schaeffer, executive director of
the Diesel Technology Forum, issued the following statement in response to a
new report made public today by the Clean Air Task Force (CATF):

Diesel technology has been on a path of continuous improvement for over a
decade. We simply believe that actions and engineering know-
how will be the keys to progress.

Inhaling high concentrations of particulates can affect children, the

Technology Forum has been working with the EPA and other stakeholders,
including some environmental groups, for nearly five years to expand the
agency's voluntary retrofit program and identify new sources of incentive
funding.

The full
cost of some diesel emissions control devices can be well above
$20,000 per truck. Fuel consumption improves dramatically,
horsepower increases and harmful pollutants such as ozone-producing
NOx , greenhouse gases like CO2, and cancer-causing particulate matter
are reduced.38% of fine particulates (PM-2.5).

Most of that pollution
comes from the use of diesel engines in harbor workboats, intermodal
terminal equipment, railroad locomotives and heavy truck tractors
needed to move containers from ocean-going ships through the ports to
the rest of the country. The RFC is unique in that it offers both improved air
quality and operating savings for fleet owners. Fleets can install the Rentar device on up
to five trucks on a test basis with a deposit of only $300 per truck. Because of these
improvements , diesel emissions represent a very small portion of the
nationwide particulate inventory as cataloged by the U.

As a result of its positive impact on emissions, Rentar is
embarking on a broad based program called "Port Solutions" to allow
other port operators to likewise significantly reduce their emissions. It brings together the diesel industry ,
the broad diesel user community, civic and public interest leaders, government
regulators, academics , scientists, the petroleum industry and public health
researchers to encourage the exchange of information , ideas, scientific
findings and points-of-view to current and future uses of diesel power
