by: The North Platte Bulletin - Mar. 30, 2026

The Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) sensor requirement has been removed for all diesel equipment, President Donald Trump and Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin announced on Friday, March 27.

The action addresses concerns from farmers, truckers, motor coach operators, and other diesel equipment operators. Sudden speed losses and shutdowns caused by DEF system failures compromise safety and productivity and are unacceptable and problematic, the announcement said.
