The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's latest standards to cut air pollution from heavy-duty vehicles could lead to economic savings for consumers by steering the trucking industry towards cleaner technologies like electric trucks.

In a surprising twist, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s latest standards to cut air pollution from heavy-duty vehicles could provide these economic savings to consumers.

For too long, these communities have inhaled the toxic output of diesel engines, which, despite their effectiveness for hauling heavy loads, emit over 40 known carcinogens and are responsible for thousands of premature deaths each year in the U.S. HDV pollution’s deadly effects are unequally distributed, disproportionately falling upon low-income households and people of color.

EPA Announces Tough New Standards for Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Heavy-Duty VehiclesThe Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has introduced the toughest US standards to date for greenhouse gas emissions from heavy-duty vehicles. The regulations aim to reduce emissions from a significant contributor to climate change. Heavy-duty vehicles account for a quarter of the nation's transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions. The EPA estimates that the new standards will prevent a billion tons of emissions by 2055, equivalent to the pollution from 13 million tanker trucks' worth of gasoline.
