International & Bus Meeting & Exhibition Technical Session Schedule As of 11/16/2003 08:00 pm

Monday November, 10 Setting the Stage: Exploring Industry Trends Session Code: TB49 Room Technology Theater Session Time: 8:30 a.m. During this plenary session top industry executives will explore several of the major non-technical issues facing the heavy truck industry today and will discuss them in terms of their potential impact on the future of the industry. The panel will feature a truck builder executive, three component manufacturer executives and will be moderated by the executive editor of one of the leading fleet magazines.

Each panelist will briefly describe his company, its position in the industry and its future direction before joining the freewheeling, "Meet the Press" format panel discussion which will feature questions from the audience.

Issues to be explored include: what the industry needs to do to implement the 2007 EPA emissions regulations with minimal disruption; will the industry's preoccupation with the 2007 emission regs delay the implementation of other technologies? And what is the future for spec'ing heavy duty ?

Wednesday November, 12 Renovating the On-highway Heavy Truck Population in Mexico Session Code: TB63 Room Technology Theater Session Time: 8:30 a.m. The age of the over-the-road truck in Mexico is increasing with a significant portion of trucks in Mexico built between 960-1980. With NAFTA, the border between Mexico and United States is expected to open soon, but the older trucks in Mexico do not meet the DOT standards making it difficult to import/export across the border using trucks from Mexico. There are various concerns particularly in emissions and safety. With the recent 2002 EPA emission standards for trucks, the price point of a truck has dramatically increased questioning the logic of implementing 2002 US emission standards in Mexico. The implications on the Mexican economy are significant and are encouraging the illegal import of used trucks from United States to Mexico.

Mexican Federal government and OEM subsidiaries have several initiatives planned or in progress addressing this priority issue in Mexico.

This panel would discuss the issue at hand from the perspective of an truck OEM, fleet operator, and government officials (economist, border control, emission/safety minister (possibly Mexican & US)) on the medium term initiative to address affects on the Mexican economy.
