It's way different here on all of that. No safety inspections needed ever and you could have a coal fired vehicle and they would never know. I asked a friend that works for the court clerk dept that handles vehicle titlling and renewals and he said this is something they will never do due to the no emissions / inspections requirement in place. All they want is proof of insurance when renewing.

Same here in OK. No inspections. They ask color of vehicle and milage and that is it.
I just tagged the H1 from Military, and I said Green lol. Now we can get 2 yr tags also,

I am surprised that Cummins did this, like it or not the EPA isn't going away. I see it in my industry all the time, companies trying to ignore the emission laws and next thing you know they are under a consent degree.

This isn't much different then how Mercury if they find a tune gets turned in, the OEM's trying to lock down the ECM code etc.

I guess we will have to figure out how to hot rod electric motors

I sure hope their fix is better than VW’s. Since the “Reprogram” updated emissions on TDI’s they are piles. Mines been in the shop every other week going on 2-months.

Ride it out as long as you can or unload the truck.

All NJ inspects is emissions. New vehicles get a 5 yr pass, after that it is every 2 yrs

1) A $2 billion fine is nothing for a Fortune 500 company like Cummins. Their annual revenue last year was over $33 billion. In fact, VW is still in business after Dieselgate and all the fines, buybacks, and other financial settlements they ended up shelling out $33 billion for that as well.

3) I know for fact that a portion of the fine money was used to subsidize repowering and updating the emission equipment on diesel mining and construction equipment, especially in California.

For as bad as Hellinois is there is no emissions on Diesels bt that seems like the usual Government over reach, since the democrats went almost full Communist it makes sense.

EPA is out of control. New standards coming in 2027 for heavy on highway semis etc. Cummins has said it will add 20 to 25G to the price of a new semi. Crazy
