Online resources: On December 27, 2008, just three days before the date set for implementation of stricter emission standards for diesel engines, China's regulatory agency issued a letter to all diesel manufacturers: Manufacturers could continue to sell engines that met the less stringent NS-II standards until July 1. However, the implementation date had not been moved -- engines manufactured after January 1 had to meet the new NS-III standards. Steve Chapman, Group Vice President -- Emerging Markets and Businesses for Cummins, Inc., knew his company faced a dilemma. Cummins planned to comply with China's new emission standards and was prepared to produce a NS-III engine. It was also ready to manufacture NS-II engines if implementation was postponed. But the Ministry letter made the regulatory situation far from clear.
