Washington— The Environmental Protection Agency on Friday set strict emissions standards for heavy-duty trucks, buses and other large vehicles, an action that officials said will help clean up some of the nation's largest sources of planet-warming greenhouse gases. ...
On the same day, the EPA proposed standards for light- and medium-duty vehicles. These proposals leverage advances in clean vehicle technology to further reduce climate pollution and smog- and soot-forming emissions, according to the EPA. For additional insight, the light- and medium-duty propo...
Heavy-duty vehicles make up about 3% of vehicles on the road in California, but they generate more than half of nitrogen oxides and fine-particle diesel pollution, according to the California Air Resources Board. That’s because these trucks have diesel engines that, while more powerful, ...
EPA's Office of Transportation and Air Quality protects public health and the environment by regulating air pollution from motor vehicles, engines, and the fuels used to operate them, and by encouraging travel choices that minimize emissions. These "mobile sources" include cars and light trucks, ...
Tweet The National Association of Clean Air Agencies (NACAA), which represents state air directors, is urging EPA to require even greater reductions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) from the heavy-duty truck fleet, submitting comments to the agency that show the group thinks “neither of the EPA’s ...
In an Aug. 5 statement on EPA's plans, the agency says the first rulemaking, to be finalized in 2022, will apply to heavy-duty vehicles starting in model year 2027. That action will set new standards for NOx for the entire sector as well as "targeted upgrades" to the current Obama-...
