This past fall, the automobile manufacturer Daimler came out saying it was holding off using HFO-1234yf for auto air conditioning even though a directive from the European Union was calling for moving away from HFC-134a.
Since The NEWS and FROSTlines pretty much deal with stationary equipment, we don’t track the automotive sector all that closely. But in this case, the Daimler announcement was picked up by one of our industry trade associations, the Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI), and published on its website.
