For many years the perception was that a diesel engine would last longer and was less expensive to operate than their gasoline counterparts.

The complexity and cost of diesel engines, after treatments and fuel are driving fleets to find alternatives and instead of transitioning back to gasoline, there is a growing movement towards propane autogas in class 4-7 trucks.

NAFA Urges Senate to Continue Diesel Funding
2014-06-15 20:11:31| AutomotiveDigest.com - Automotive Industry News
Last week, NAFA Fleet Management Association Chief Executive Officer Phillip Russo, CAE, reached out to leaders in Washington urging continued funding for the Diesel Emission Reduction Act (DERA). Letters from NAFA were sent to Jack Reed, Chairman of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies; Lisa Murkowski, Ranking Member for the Appropriations Subcommittee on Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies; Barbara A. Mikulski, Chairwoman of the Senate Committee on Appropriations; and Richard Shelby, Ranking Member for the Senate Committee on Appropriations. "Millions of older diesel engines are still in use by fleets. Thankfully, emissions from these older engines may be controlled with the use of modern, American-made control technologies that reduce emissions and create jobs here at home," said Russo in the communications. "Enacted through the Energy Policy Act of 2005, DERA provides funding for fleets to install retrofit technologies on existing heavy-duty diesel vehicles and engines, or replace engines and equipment, reducing harmful emissions by as much as 90 percent."
