We are in the process of moving to a new publishing and commerce platform and have suspended sales of "raw" cases until further notice. Our "cooked" cases will still be available up to the transition to the new store, which will open at the start of the Spring, 2025 semester. If you are a bulk educational customer from a university or other accredited institution and need to purchase "raw" cases in the interim, please email us at case.access@yale.edu. Thank you for your patience!

On December 27, 2008, just three days before the date set for implementation of stricter emission standards for diesel engines, China’s regulatory agency issued a letter to all diesel manufacturers: Manufacturers could continue to sell engines that met the less stringent NS-II standards until July 1. However, the implementation date had not been moved – engines manufactured after January 1 had to meet the new NS-III standards. (China’s emission standards, translated as National Standards NS-II and NS-III, are similar to the standards adopted in Europe, the Euro-II and Euro-III.)
