Spark Ignition

A Consultation RIS on options for reducing emissions from non-road engines has been released for public consultation until 27 July 2010.
In addition to the issues raised in the RIS, we seek your views on the following specific issues:

• What is the likely impact of adopting US emission standards on the purchase price for each type of relevant product?
• What is the likely impact of adopting US emission standards on consumer demand for each type of relevant product?
• What is the likely impact of adopting US emission standards on consumer choice for each type of relevant product, i.e., if US standards were adopted, which products would be removed from the market?   
• What are impacts to manufacturers and distributors of meeting US Final Rule standards through a phased approach in comparison with a non-phased approach?

Where possible, your responses to the above issues should be quantified (e.g. in terms of dollars, with the types/models of impacted products clearly identified).
