Come Meet Clean Diesel at EPA Headquarters

                     What Do You Get When You Cross a
             Clean Diesel Tailpipe with a White Handkerchief?

  WHAT:    Join EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson in an opportunity to Meet
           Clean Diesel
           * View the new generation of trucks that meet stringent 2007
             emissions standards
           * Witness white handkerchief tests demonstrating just how clean
             today's diesel is
           * Talk to industry leaders who can explain the science behind
             clean diesel technology
           * Enjoy a scoop of ice cream while you get the scoop on clean
             diesel

  WHY:     Diesel is the backbone of the American economy, moving more than
           90% of the nation's goods each day. Today's diesel engines are
           not only powerful and efficient, they are also cleaner than ever
           before.

           Beginning in 2007, manufacturers will virtually eliminate key
           emissions from new trucks, reducing soot by 98% compared to
           trucks built in the late 1980s. The Environmental Protection
           Agency predicts that these new clean diesel trucks once they
           fully replace the existing fleet will reduce emissions of smog-
           forming gases by 2.6 million tons each year

The Diesel Technology Forum represents manufacturers of engines, fuel and emissions control systems. 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 technology.
