California will require more zero emission trucks on the roads after a key Biden administration approval, a move that is bound to transform the country’s truck market.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. —
The nation-leading Advanced Clean Trucks rule, first passed in 2020 and backed by the EPA on Friday, sets a timeline for manufacturers to phase out most gas-powered heavy-duty vehicles by 2035. At least six states — Massachusetts, Vermont, New York, New Jersey, Washington and Oregon — have already moved to adopt the rule, meaning it will cover almost a quarter of the nation’s auto market. Some lack the electric vehicle charging infrastructure to support new electric trucks, but have vowed to ramp up the build-out.
The delay underscores the tenuousness of California’s attempts to limit emissions and transform heavily-polluting vehiclesUnder the Clean Air Act, California can seek waivers from EPA to enforce more stringent tailpipe regulations. Other states can choose to adopt California’s version of the rules, expanding its reach.in the Clean Air Act as unconstitutional. That case is scheduled for oral argument before a Washington, D.C., court in September.
The California Air Resources Board will vote in April on a rule requiring all sales of new trucks to be zero-emission by 2040.
