Considerations
Presented
by
ICCAIA
Is
There
a
Need
for
a
CAEP/
4
NOx
Production
Cut­
off?

°
Historically,
the
purpose
of
a
production
cut­
off
has
been
to
prevent
industry
from
continuing
to
manufacture
products
not
in
compliance
with
recent
standards
°
Industry,
however,
as
demonstrated
during
the
adoption
of
the
CAEP/
4
NOx
standard,
has
responded
to
reasonable
standards
and
market
forces
by
incorporating
the
best
available
technology
into
their
products,
even
without
an
accompanying
production
cut­
off
 
Today,
all
but
one
in
production
engine
has
met
the
CAEP/
4
NOx
standard
long
before
it
took
effect
after
31
December
2003
°
Technology
has
been
identified
to
make
this
engine
compliant
 
The
overwhelming
compliance
rate
suggests
that
a
production
cut­
off
is
not
required
Reasonable
standards
and
market
forces
are
the
primary
drivers
to
new
technology
development
and
incorporation,
not
production
cut­
offs!

Recommendations

ICCAIA
recommends
no

Cut­
off
at
CAEP/

°
By
taking
this
action,
CAEP
can
confirm
the
strength
of
market
forces
&
reasonable
standards
as
a
driver
for
industry
to
continue
to
achieve
regulatory
compliance
 
A
reasonable
CAEP/
6
NOx
standard
will
reinforce
market
pressure
on
manufacturers
to
incorporate
best
available
technology
into
their
products
that
meet
and
exceed
