Cummins weighs in on environmental regulation debate in the US

Cummins, the engineering company, has released a statement clarifying its position vis-à-vis ongoing environmental regulation debates in the US concerning the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The statement says, “Cummins has a long history of supporting EPA’s authority to regulate our products for pollution and carbon emissions. We, along with several industry partners, signed an Amicus Brief in the West Virginia v. EPA case supporting this authority for stationary sources. EPA’s nation-wide air regulations are critical to maintain business certainty and drive innovation in the commercial vehicle sector. We look forward to working with EPA on a Phase 3 fuel efficiency rule for trucks that is tough, clear and enforceable, just like we did for the Phase 1 and 2 rules”. The statement seemed to focus on the importance of regulations that are clear and achievable.
