the existing muffler in the exhaust

stream. Several of the engine rebuild

components will have a proprietary

coating applied to the surface.

Engelhard has proposed a three-tiered

supply approach, discussed in more

detail below, intended to provide

flexibility to transit operators using this

equipment. Engelhard intends that this

equipment be certified to the 0.1 grams

the equipment can be used by urban bus

operators to reduce the particulate

matter of urban bus engines.
