Tennessee Tech has acknowledged that the results of its controversial glider kit study were “inaccurate.”
The Environmental Protection Agency reversed Former EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt’s July 6 decision to give glider kit manufacturers relief from a key limitation after fierce push back from environmentalists.
The Environmental Protection Agency issued a loophole that will allow glider kit manufacturers to avoid certain Obama-era emissions regulations and, effectively, build as many trucks as they deem fit, according to the New York Times.
On July 5, hours after attending the White House’s annual Fourth of July picnic, Scott Pruitt announced his resignation from his position as Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.
The controversial study has become a national story and is now under scrutiny of two U.S. Senators who are demanding information from Scott Pruitt’s Nov. 16 proposal to exempt “glider kits” from industry emissions standards.
Glider kits, or rebuilt trucks, are not exempt from the new emissions standards, but some people are using a Tennessee Tech study to help make the case they should be.
The EPA has canceled a rule that would have subjected glider kits to the same emissions standards as newly manufactured heavy duty vehicles. Glider truck assemblers lauded the announcement while environmental advocate groups protested.
