Emissions = safety.

I assume that out of 270 entire families that some are more popular than others? Why not pick the 20-30 most popular ones?

The tone of this article is that OP’s company has a savior complex. If they aren’t given expedient special treatment regulatory approval, the status quo is causing a bunch of fake make up dollar values of damage. It’s kind of a gross tone.

Presumably they have so many families to serve their customers well. If they were to consolidate their engine families in such a way to avoid paying as much money to regulatory processes, that seems like a bit of a perverse incentive and outcome.

In my view though the goal of the regulation isn't bad, but the cost of the process is prohibitive. Why is it so expensive to measure engine emissions?

>As one example, one state agency has asked Revoy to do certified engine testing to prove that the Revoy doesn’t increase emissions of semi trucks.

Where in this sentence is asbestos mentioned? As for the families, if they know their product works in 270 engine families why would they chose to only sell to 20-30?

Because they can't afford the required testing for all of them?

The testing that is clearly theater and a waste of money for all involved?

It's not wasting the money of the testing people who's job it is to get paid to do work.

Like a civil engineer preparing an existing conditions plan of a flat field...
