Lets diesel vehicles in cold areas avoid engine shutdowns and emissions fluid issues.
This bill would let manufacturers of diesel vehicles temporarily turn off engine power limits or shutdowns in very cold weather. This would help prevent dangerous situations for drivers and keep essential transportation running in remote, freezing areas. It also would give some vehicles in extremely cold regions a year-round break from certain emissions fluid rules.
Currently, diesel vehicles can automatically reduce power or shut down. This happens if their emissions control systems or diesel exhaust fluid systems have issues. This can occur even in dangerously cold weather. If this bill becomes law, manufacturers would be allowed to temporarily suspend these functions in freezing temperatures when safety is a concern. Also, vehicles in certain extremely cold areas would get a year-round break from diesel exhaust fluid system requirements, preventing related shutdowns.
