A proposal to roll back federal emission standards associated with heavy-duty commercial vehicles advanced to President Joe Biden, who has vowed to veto the legislation.

The Biden administration has dropped, for now, a plan that would have awarded automakers such as Tesla Inc. credits for using renewable natural gas to power electric vehicles.

Prior to moving forward with Inflation Reduction Act funding, the EPA says it is seeking comment on zero-emission technologies in the heavy-duty vehicle and port sectors.

The trucking industry is applauding Senate passage of an effort to roll back federal emissions standards associated with heavy-duty commercial vehicles.

The Biden administration is on track to propose the toughest-ever U.S. curbs on car pollution, while stopping short of an electric vehicle mandate or ban on gas-powered models.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has granted California environmental regulators waivers to officially move forward with the agency’s aggressive plans to transition diesel trucks to electric vehicles and expand the length of truck warranties.

Senior Republicans are proposing to overturn federal emissions standards targeting heavy-duty commercial vehicles.

In its heyday, Fitzgerald Glider Kits was the nation’s top glider truck manufacturer, building and selling thousands of the new truck cab bodies powered by older rebuilt engines.

The trucking industry urged federal regulators to consider how a proposal to tighten emissions limits on engines will affect motor carriers, as they’re the ones who will ultimately deploy the equipment subject to the new rules.

In an all-day virtual hearing, many of the roughly 140 parties commenting expressed support for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s proposed new rule to tighten nitrogen oxides emissions. Others, however, either viewed the effort as a lost opportunity or attacked it as an overreach.
