Charlie Cox is an Emissions Compliance Specialist with Velocity Vehicle Group. Charlie has a great deal of experience designing compliance strategies for clients who are subject to diesel emission regulations from the California Air Resources Board (CARB), as well as local air pollution authorities like the South Coast AQMD. He is a member of CARB's Off-Road Implementation Advisory Group (ORIAG) and currently serves as the first chairman of the ORIAG retrofit subcommittee. He has developed emissions compliance plans for several of the largest construction and trucking companies in the United States representing more than 100,000 vehicles and has contributed to several industry publications on the subject of emissions regulations and retrofit technology.
Charlie's experience in working with grants and funding programs makes his consulting experience highly relevant in the current regulatory climate. He has been invited to speak before local, state and regional-level events conducted by the Associated General Contractors of California, Faster Freight/Cleaner Air, Californa Trucking Association, Great West Truck Show, AQMD, California Bus Association, California Dump Truck Owners Association, Clean Cities Coalition, National Pavement Expo and numerous educational events on the subject of emissions compliance.
Bob Towle has been worked in the diesel filtration market for twenty years and diesel emission reduction for the past seven. His involvement in the emission technology started in the voluntary markets from the Ports of Long Beach to Oakland along with School Bus fleets. When the first regulations from the California Air Resource Board were mandated to the Solid Waste Collection industry, he worked with the majority of these fleets on a statewide basis. As regulations developed with municipalities, utilities, off road and LSI, he has continued to worked with some of the largest fleets in the state with compliance strategies and programs. With new regulations addressing PM and NOx, he felt that it was important to offer all aspects needed to be in compliance.
With Velocity Vehicle Group, Bob can assist with sound compliance strategies that offer PM retrofits, EPA 07 Gliders, newer used vehicles, and new vehicles. This “total package approach” is what is needed to meet the new regulations.
Dean Mariani is our resident School Bus retrofit expert. With over 20 years in the school bus fleet management industry, Deans knowledge of school bus diesel engine requirements has been invaluable in bringing California school districts vehicles in line with the California Air Resources Boards mandate for reducing emissions output throughout CA. Since school bus requirements are much more variable due to strict safety requirements, having Dean on our team helps keep our Emission Specialists team in the know how for the bus CARB rules.
