Chinese vehicle importers settle with EPA, will pay $50k in fines
Filed under: Legislation and Policy, USA
A California-based importer of recreational vehicles and motorcycles will pay $50,000 in fines after reaching an agreement with the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and US Department of Justice (DOJ) over alleged violations of the Clean Air Act. The vehicles affected include "recreational vehicles, highway motorcycles, and nonroad spark ignition engines."
California-based Yuan Cheng International Group Inc. (YCIG) and its successor NST Inc. allegedly imported and sold vehicles that violated Clean Air Act laws, the EPA says.
For the five years that ended 2011, the companies, which are now dissolved, imported more than 17,000 non-certified vehicles. The problem is that those vehicles may have emitted carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide above federally acceptable levels. In 2010, NST agreed to pay the state of California $250,000 because of similar allegations. The EPA's press release is available below.Continue reading Chinese vehicle importers settle with EPA, will pay $50k in fines
