Demand Detroit

right.

Detroit Diesel just announced a third shift for the first time in 20 years right here in Michigan.

And I'll tell you what it means to have somebody that can actually work with the President on things that we would like to see a little different here in Michigan.

When I was working with the secretary in the president's office, we talked about, hey, I've got this problem that we've been talking about in Michigan for 20 years.

It's a multi-billion dollar investment right here in Michigan.

The Detroit Diesel is adding a third shift.

They haven't done that in a couple of decades because of reshoring opportunities coming back.

These small fabricators around the state actually getting more work because companies want to operate here in manufacturing to try to avoid What they've had is a free ride in the trade negotiations.

This is huge.

Some of these small fabrication shops adding second shifts and or third shifts for the first time in decades.

Those are a positive development for the great state of Michigan.

And then what, you know, why he wants to come work here.

What value is he bringing? Are you giving him problems and developing him so he's becoming a better mechanic? Are you offering OEM training on, you know, PACCAR, Cummins, Freeliner, Detroit, whatever? Are you offering those, you know, those training programs that improve his skill set and make him a better mechanic? And then he can grow inside the company and become a leader or earn more money.

So, yeah, and I think that's all relevant there.

And I think we all need to consider that, like even in my company, which we're technical, right? Like we do IT, but we're always striving towards getting, you know, that monthly barbecue or, you know, ordering pizzas in the winter.

This is a continued evolution of the history of our products.

And I've been involved personally in the development the DD-15 and the other HDF engines at Detroit.

Since the beginning, I started here in 2008 working on the DD-15.

And in that time, we've seen it evolve multiple times in response to regulations, regulatory pressure from both California and the EPA.

The final rule will be what matters.

And so that's sort of why we are planning to keep full steam ahead.

We are planning to build a product that meets the only rule that's on the books today because we want our customers to have certainty and to make sure that they know they can rely on a Detroit engine being available for them in January when they show up to their dealership wanting a

truck.
