Engine Manufacturer Navistar Liable in Air Enforcement Case, Court Rules

摘要

Navistar Inc. is liable for Clean Air Act violations related to the sale of nearly 8,000 heavy-duty diesel engines that the EPA said were not adequately certified, a federal judge held (United States v. Navistar Inc., N.D. 111., No. 1:15-cv-6143, 3/1/17). The ruling leaves the Illinois-based engine manufacturer open to millions of dollars in civil penalties for selling engines without first obtaining a valid certificate of conformity, a certification that the engine meets applicable air pollution standards.
