Challenger Motor Freight rolled some new smog-free trucks into its fleet this week. The new trucks are fitted with something called a particulate trap that removes the stuff from engine exhaust known to cause smog. The engines are also built to run on a very low sulphur diesel. Obviously these trucks cost more to put on the road (and some say cost more to operate) but are a step in the right direction in terms of vehicle evolution in my opinion. So the cost of freight, and hence retail prices, will go up incrementally. But isn't this just another example of paying a fair price for the overall value of products? I think so.http://news.therecord.com/article/241235
