Extension Letters received

[GR.mike]

Who here has received their letter? I know awhile ago it was stated that ony 2 importers had.

We have since received our letter :D:D:D:D.

For those looking to find a new importer if there company has decieded to stop or if their company has not received their letter yet. I thought it would be nice to have a spot to look for a new importer for those. On a side note we are getting very close to finalizing the letter of conformity (awaiting the EPA to settle on what all they actually want). We do not want to rush into something and end up being confused about what we got.

Congrats on that Freemont!! I know that we are excited abou it. How is it working out for you have you brought anything in yet? Where are you located?

That makes 3 importers. I hope that is not all that have received there stuff. Well, kinda hope that could be good for the 3 companies.;)

Just wanted to let everyone know that we received the EPA extension this week. Several companies have received it and hopefully many more will.

First time posting but I know many of you already.
Thank you for your support!

Thanks Mike. I was talking to your friend Bob Jones of JDM Equipment yesterday at the Ag show here in CA.

Mighty-Milt - www.minitruckdealer.com is a sponsor on the forum for a while now. Is that different from a supporting member???

[GR.mike]

Yeah he is a crazy guy isn't he.

[DAVID-O]

Nice to know that we were a supporting member after all.

As far as I know there are 7 companies with the approved extension including us.

I know of two more of my clients going for extentions. One already has an extention and has imported. The other two are importing this week.

[texasnativeson]

Five of my clients now have their extensions, and two more applications are pending. Now that we have a grip on the extensions, does anyone know how many letters of compliance have been issued?

I have heard that there are about 20 US based importers with extentions.

[S.Hiro]

Is any one importing mini trucks or there is new EPA law, please advice,
thanks

[steve_nagoya]

Is any other importer applying for extentions? Do the extentions finish in Jan 2010 or do they go for 365 days from the date of issue? I know there is also a limit to the number of trucks allowed under the extention.

[S.Hiro]

I am not sure how many are applying,
the extention on the old trucks or only new trucks, please advice,
if old that mean no need to comply EPA rules,
also do we still have to fix the limiter,
hope to have more info, with Thanks,

[steve_nagoya]

Hiro, the question wasn't directed at you so you don't have to continue posting. I was asking other importers in the US.

To date, nine of my clients have applied for and received their extensions. The extensions apply ONLY to model years 2003 and older - these are engine families that have never been previously certified. They must still be speed limited to 25MPH in order to comply with E.P.A. emissions standards than have been on the books for years. What the "new" regulations are dealing with are the procedures for certifying previously uncertified engine families.
