Diesel rules could push GM to curb diesel use in cars
Detroit based GM official Tom Fisher says proposed EPA particulate standards may slow plans to expand diesel engines in passenger cars if the investment cannot be justified. EPA proposals set 0.6 g/mi for 1981 and 0.2 g/mi for 1983, with GM weighing waivers on nitrous oxides to meet possible limits. EPA spokesman Tom Cackette defends feasibility, saying technology can meet the targets within the proposed time frames.
