Hi Greg
Your comments are interesting however.......
The reason that I became interested in this company in the beginning was that the solution they were offering was simple, neat, and a much much cheaper solution to implement than the ones you identify. In fact, the TRBD solutions only cost a couple of hundred bucks to manufacture and, in conjunction with current technology can make the whole system more cost effective and functional. In addition, they reduce carbon pollution and increase horsepower - proven.
The reason the large truck manufacturers did not jump on board immediately was because they already had a cheaper solution - defrauding the EPA with their computerized bypass systems. If any of them had implemented this solution on the side they would have been admitting that they were willingly defrauding the EPA and polluting the environment unnecessarily. The financial and political penalties would have been massive - believe me.
I believe that the reason we have not seen other OEMs getting on board - i.e. declaring their position - is that there is a real competitive advantage here, not only being first, but by having a cheap effective solution that permits Diesels to be acceptable to North American drivers - lower pollution, easier starting and less noise.
Really, I have spoken to the EPA and to the initial bus operators and they agree that this does solve major problems vis a vis pollution. As a team, we have test driven vehicles with this technology and the do "get off the mark faster" - substantially.
Now, I agree, at first pass I give you the benefit of the doubt but, before you make final statements as though you know the truth CHECK THIS PRODUCT OUT MORE CONCLUSIVELY.
YOU COULD BE VERY SURPRISED.
