Beijing Diesel Retrofit Pilot Program: EPA is soliciting applications for a cooperative agreement to assist the government of China and the City of Beijing to reduce air pollution from heavy-duty diesel vehicles through a pilot demonstration project, which will use EPA verified or CARB certified pollution reduction devices operating on diesel fuel with the appropriate sulfur content. EPA recognizes that China may encounter a variety of obstacles to developing and carrying out successful projects to reduce pollution caused by existing heavy duty diesel vehicles. Through this solicitation, EPA seeks to support efforts to demonstrate diesel retrofits in Beijing and to compile information about ways to overcome any structural, organizational, or technical challenges that may arise in implementing a broader 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 will be made available to all stakeholders interested in pursuing similar projects.
