| Comment | These regulations should be passed with a built in waiver for new
small but growing companies that are building a very small number
of vehicles. A waiver on the first 1000 vehicles sold for example
would allow small business to continue to innovate while still
providing the needed air quality protections once the industry is
mature.
Many of the concerns expressed by the CARB engineering staff can
be easily addressed by maintaining the initial engine run sequence
on startup that is currently programmed into all Hybrid Vehicles.
Simply having this as the one and only requirment would alleviate
nearly all the concerns raised by the CARB engineering staff
without requiring any expensive testing and regulation."
Thanks,
David
