The EPA have apparently received funds from the stimulus plan to help reduce emissions from existing diesels. Through the EPA regions, qualified applicants can get as much as 75% of the cost of a repower (from an older engine to an engine w/current certification) paid by the government. You can also get 100% of the cost of an emissions upgrade kit or aftertreatment retrofit, but they must be on the verified tech. list. Applications must be submitted by about mid-April, according to the website. You also have to be working in conjunction with a government agency or nonprofit (who must submit the application) to qualify. I'm wondering whether anyone in here is planning to take advantage of the opportunity to upgrade existing horsepower and reduce emissions?
