Mexico City Diesel Retrofit Pilot Program: EPA is soliciting applications for a cooperative agreement to implement a pilot demonstration project that will assist the government of Mexico in reducing air pollution from heavy-duty diesel vehicles through the use of ULSD and EPA verified or certified pollution reduction devices. EPA recognizes that Mexico may encounter a variety of obstacles to implementing successful projects to reduce pollution caused by existing heavy-duty diesel vehicles. Through this solicitation, EPA seeks to support efforts to implement a diesel retrofit project in Mexico City and to compile information about ways to overcome any structural, organizational, or technical challenges that may arise in implementing a project to reduce pollution from heavy-duty diesel vehicles, including information regarding the effectiveness of verified or certified technology on a range of diesel engine types and model years operating in a variety of conditions. The results of this case study wil be made available to all stakeholders interested in pursuing similar projects.
