Emissions Compliance Achieved Two Years Ahead of Schedule

LaGrange, Illinois - General Motors Electro-Motive Division (EMD) today announced that testing has been completed to confirm compliance with the Tier 2 marine engine emissions standards established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). These standards go into effect in January 2007.

According to Don Riach, Sales & Marketing Director for Electro-Motive, "Our successful engine development program for addressing 2005 EPA emissions standards for diesel locomotives helped us to accelerate meeting the 2007 EPA emissions standards for marine engines. Our marine engine also meets these standards without adding any new technologies or complicated equipment."
