HDT Talks Trucking talked with Allen Schaeffer, executive director of the nonprofit Diesel Technology Forum, to learn more about the current state of diesel power.

He told HDT Talks Trucking host Jim Park, “Diesel is in a good spot today… It’s achieving near-zero emissions for the newest generation of technology.
