Vehicles will be prohibited from idling their engines for more than three minutes if parked near a school or a hospital, and cars will be subject to random testing for emissions compliance.
Because of its direct kinship, the Destino can piggyback on the Corvette's emissions certification as well as the Karma's crash-testing data, since none of the car's load-path structure has been altered.
The testing required to demonstrate that a novel engine can meet stringent emissions standards and durability requirements is expensive and time consuming.
To the extent that companies are testing environmental markets by moving ahead with tradable reductions of greenhouse-gas emissions, the environment profits.
