On a question by Ald. Kilburg, Chief Antenore stated that the new system has a hose and tailpipe setup. It is connected to the tailpipe by a magnet and allows  exhaust to enter into the hose. It releases from the tailpipe when the truck is outside and is hooked back on when the truck enters the station. The old system allowed  the exhaust into the air and then out of the top of the station. 

On a question by Ald. Hruby, Deputy Lohse stated that other systems still had to expel the exhaust through the air. Chief Antenore noted that the system is  removing the exhaust from the area where people breathe it in. The exhaust is  released into the air in the same way that it is now. He noted that the engines are not started until the doors are open to reduce the amount of carcinogens being  expelled.
