Oregon has recently launched a new initiative aimed at addressing diesel emissions in the state. The programme introduces a labelling system designed to inform consumers about the emissions generated by diesel-powered equipment and vehicles.

Under this initiative, certain diesel-powered machines and vehicles will be required to display a label indicating their emission levels. This label will provide valuable information to consumers, helping them make more informed choices about their purchases and encouraging the adoption of cleaner, low-emission alternatives.

The implementation of this program underscores Oregon's commitment to environmental sustainability and public health. By raising awareness about diesel emissions and incentivising the use of cleaner technologies, the state aims to reduce air pollution and mitigate the negative impacts on both the environment and human health.
