EPA fines diesel exhaust company Flo-Pro $1.6 million for defeat devices.
EPA Fines Diesel Exhaust Company Flo-Pro $1.6 Million For Defeat DevicesAug 1, 2022Flo-Pro Performance Exhaust and its distributor Thunder Diesel & Performance are facing fines of $1.6 million in relation to a 2018 EPA investigation into the companies’ alleged violation of the Clean Air Act., the hefty fine is the result of Flo-Pro selling around 100,000 diesel emissions defeat devices annually in the United States.
The large $1.6 million penalty facing Alberta-based Flo-Pro is actually a reduced settlement from the EPA’s initial request, as the company was found financially incapable of paying more. Despite Flo-Pro’s partner Thunder Diesel & Performance being cited in the lawsuit, the Arkansas-based distributor has already shuttered its doors and no longer provides any vehicle-related services. Regardless, the pair is responsible for paying the $1.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen diesel tuners face this sort of pressure from the EPA. Back in March of 2021, EZ Lynk was sued by the agency for the manufacturing of these parts, and later refused to cooperate with the investigation. Earlier this summer, was fined $1.3 million for selling just 14,000 of these emissions defeat devices. The founder of the company was also sentenced to a year and a day in prison.
