The rule for trucks is more complex, with a range of electric-vehicle or other non-traditional sales projected, depending on the type of vehicle and use, the agency said. For instance, 30% of "heavy-heavy-duty vocational" trucks would need to be zero-emission by 2032, the EPA said, wh...
Previously the rule set an emission limit for vinyl chloride only and used that level as a “surrogate” for all other air toxins.The changes will reduce emissions from major sources by 238 tons of total air toxics, the agency said.Facilities will have the flexibility to choose the “most ...
The Environmental Protection Agency has set strict emissions standards for heavy-duty trucks, buses and other large vehicles.
the EPA has come a long way to create a more feasible emissions rule that protects workers building ICE [internal combustion engine] vehicles, while providing a path forward for automakers to implement the full range of automotive technologies to reduce emissions," says the United Automobile Workers...
On March 29, 2024, EPA announced new emission standards for heavy-duty vehicles for model years 2027 through 2032. The rule,Greenhouse Gas Emissions Standards for Heavy-Duty Vehicles – Phase 3, regulates heavy-duty vocational vehicles such as delivery trucks, refuse haulers, and public uti...
Proposed truck engine emissions rules would be more strict about NOx produced while idling. Photo: Jim Park The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has issued a much-anticipated proposed rule for more stringent emissions standards from heavy-duty vehicles and engines starting in model year 2027. ...
alleged the new rule violates provisions of the Energy Policy Act of 2005. For power plants to meet emissions standards, they must be achievable through “adequately demonstrated” technologies, Whitfield said, adding that carbon capture technology is not ready. “We will continue our vigorous ...
EPA proposes for the first time to regulate methane and VOC emissions resulting from the unloading of liquids that have accumulated in wells. The preamble notes that liquids unloading operations represent an episodic but still potentially “high-emitting source.” As proposed, the rule would impose ...
Plaintiffs are California, Illinois, Maryland, New Mexico, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Vermont. They charge the EPA is in violation of the Clean Air Act by lagging on the rule established to manage landfill emissions of volatile organic compounds, hazardous air pollutants, carbon dioxide...
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced a final rule to reduce methane emissions from the oil and gas sector. The rule facilitates implementation of Congress’s directive in the Inflation Reduction Act to collect a Waste Emissions Charge.
