The Port of NY/NJ Will Replace Dirty Old Diesel Trucks to Slash Air Pollution
Photo: Public domain Other Truck Fleets, Pay Attention Did you know that replacing a pre-1994 diesel truck (or at least the engine) with a 2004-2006 model could cut soot pollution by about 2/3, and reduce smog-forming nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions by more than half Post 2007 diesel trucks are even better, with a reduction of soot particles by about 95% and NOx by at least 3/4. That's a pretty big difference (though it doesn't solve CO2 emissi..
