HDRA elects three industry vets to its board

Apr 14, 2010

The Heavy Duty Representatives Association has elected three industry veterans to serve on its 2010 board of directors. The new directors are:

Lawrence Rosenthal of Rosenthal Fleet Parts Sales Inc., a veteran HDRA member who will serve as the group’s president. He has represented a cross section of heavy-duty manufacturers, from Fortune 500 to family-owned businesses. Rosenthal is a member of Society of Automotive Engineers, has received numerous sales awards and has participated in a number of manufacturer liaison advisory councils;
Walt Sirman of T&S Sales & Marketing Co. Inc. of Mustang, Okla., who was elected HDRA’s vice president and has more than 30 years of industry experience; and
John Stojak of Sherman-Pearson Co. of Cleveland, who was elected HDRA’s secretary. Stojak has 35 years of industry experience and joined Sherman-Pearson in 1981. He has been a member of HDRA since 1992 and is a past president of the organization.

CARB to allow ZEV credit transfers across states, classes

CARB will allow OEMs to use credits earned for light-, medium-duty ZEV sales to offset Class 7-8 deficits; also will enable ‘pooling’ of credits across opt-in states, among other changes.

If finalized, this proposal would remove all greenhouse gas standards for light-, medium- and heavy-duty vehicles and heavy-duty engines, starting with EPA’s first greenhouse gas regulations set in 2010 for light-duty vehicles and those set in 2011 for medium-duty vehicles and heavy-duty vehicles and engines – which includes off-cycle credits like the much hated start-stop feature on most new cars.
