The Diesel Technology Forum is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of diesel engines, fuel and technology. Diesel Technology Forum members are global leaders in clean diesel technology and represent the three key elements of the modern clean-diesel system: advanced engines, vehicles and equipment, cleaner diesel fuel and emissions-control systems. Since it was founded in 2000, the Forum has emerged as a leading source of information on agriculture, economics, energy, environmental, transportation and trade issues impacting diesel technology. DTF's program is based out of metropolitan Washington, DC. International in scope, the Forum's resources include technical researchers, policy and communications specialists and communications experts. The Forum regularly participates in legislative and regulatory deliberations, technology demonstrations, and industry and media events. The Forum brings together a broad range of diesel stakeholders including diesel users, public and environmental interest groups, and government officials to encourage the exchange of information and ideas about the use of diesel technology. Elected officials, regulators, members of the media and other opinion leaders count on the Forum for data, insight and expert commentary.
