✦ Synopsis

benefits from the increasing emphasis on cleaner diesel engines.

The legislation provides funds to replace or retrofit diesel engines or diesel-powered equipment so they comply with current clean air standards. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) predicts that as a result of the legislation, numerous vehicles and construction equipment will be eligible to be replaced, rebuilt or retrofitted with some of the new diesel engines expected to be built at Jamestown.

The Senator has joined Cummins and other engine manufacturers in working to block efforts in Congress to alter or delay new diesel fuel standards which are set to take effect in 2006, Cummins says.

The Jamestown Engine Plant, one of Cummins' largest manufacturing facilities, manufactures heavy duty engines (ISM 11 litres and ISX 15 litres), and machine components. The plant produces an average of 400 engines every day.
