cliff event

English to Spanish Tech/Engineering Engineering (general) Marine parts and accesories business
Hola a todos:

Estoy con una traducción sobre partes y accesorios para botes. Igualmente esto no sería específicamente del tema...

The impact may not be as immediate and significant as with the fuel system, which offered a cost-conscious answer to a “cliff event,” which was new EPA guidelines.

Alguna sugerencia?

Gracias!

Belén
