2014 DieselWise IndianaGrant Program Partnership with the
Indiana Clean Diesel Coalition
Why Clean Diesel Diesel engines are the workhorses of the nation;
although many diesel engines already have some form of emission controls, the legacy fleet still in use continue to emit large amounts of nitrogen oxides, particulate matter and air toxics
These emissions are linked to premature deaths, asthma attacks, lost work days, and other health impacts every year
