The Environmental Protection Agency’s Phase 3 emissions final rule has been met with widespread opposition by key players in the trucking industry.
The final rule, announced March 29, requires a range of electric vehicle or other nontraditional sales, depending on the type of vehicle and use. For example, 30% of “heavy-heavy-duty vocational” trucks would need to be zero-emission by 2032, EPA said, while 40% of shorthaul day cabs would need to be zero-emission battery-electric or hydrogen vehicles.
