In this video shot at the 2013 Mid America Truck Show, Chris Troutt talks about emissions on Ottawa Yard Trucks. EPA regulations state that you need to burn a certain amount of emissions in order to be legal.

According to this press release, Ottawa terminal tractors are equipped with Cummins Tier 4i (Interim) diesel engines that meet new U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) emissions standards. Ottawa Truck is the first manufacturer to sell terminal tractors powered by the Cummins QSB6.7 Tier 4i engine. The engine uses cooled exhaust gas recirculation, a common rail fuel system, and a catalytic converter for exhaust after-treatment technology to reduce emissions to new national standards governing off-road engines in the 75-173 hp range.

The press release goes on to say: "While the new EPA regulations could boost the cost of a typical yard truck by 10 percent, the new engines represent a steady transition to “greener” technology. With a head start in bringing Tier 4i-equipped terminal tractors to market, Ottawa Truck is now the undisputed leader in offering environmentally friendly options to customers."
