Officials said the standards will help clean up some of the nation's largest sources of planet-warming greenhouse gases.

The American Trucking Associations and the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, which represent large swaths of the industry, predicted supply chain failures and said that smaller independent firms would likely hang onto older diesel trucks that spew more pollution, running counter to the EPA's goals.
