Global Emissions StandardsU.S. EPA emissions limits have already come into

effect for rail equipment 225-560 kW (301-750 hp)

at Tier 3 MOH (Mobile Off-Highway) levels. These

will move to Tier 4 levels on January 1st 2011.

Locomotives above 560 kW (750 hp) will remain at

Tier 2 and move straight to Tier 4 in 2011. For

Europe, railcar engine emissions will come into

effect on January 1st 2006, with locomotives

following in 2007 and 2009 depending on power

output. All European legislation will be at the

Stage IIIA levels. The UIC (Union Internationale

des Chemins de Fer) will bring new limits into

effect in 2008 for non EU or EPA installations

which will be in line with the European Stage IIIA

requirements.

source as it

is blended

into the fuel

and burned

during

combustion.

This is a

major factor

in reducing

servicing

costs.
