that the state legislature is trying to either heavily restrict or ban the use of diesel fuel completely. They believe that diesel use pollutes the air and destroys the environment. Only through the use of technology can a company develop a more air friendly product that will ease their concerns and at the same time maintain a high quality and efficient product. The first company to develop this product will have a clear advantage over the rest of the industry. Navistar International has developed new technology they call Green Diesel Technology as a new way to be more efficient while eliminating those harmful emissions that pollute the environment. Green Diesel Technology utilizes the benefits a catalyzed particulate filter and low-sulfur fuel in combination with an exclusive International engine performance design that significantly lowers the emission output and odor of diesel-powered buses. It virtually eliminates gaseous hydrocarbons and reduces particulates fifty percent below levels achieved by natural gas engines at a cost far below that of a natural gas vehicle. Navistar International has announced back in May of 2000 that they expect it to be available by the middle of 2001 to customers in California and in any other location where diesel fuel with sufficiently reduced sulfur content is available. The Henlys Corporation makes its buses through on of its subsidiaries called Nova Bus. Nova is currently trying to develop new technology called the Hybrid-Electric Drive Transit Bus. This bus will have two rotary CNG engines as an auxiliary pipe fiber-optic vehicle management system, and an independent semi-suspension. This bus will be energy efficient as well as environmentally safe. Nova has also developed the worlds first commercial hythane-fuelled prototype. Two are currently being tested on regular routes to determine what maintenance problems exist, how efficient is the fuel, and whether or not this type of fuel poll...
