EPA issues new clean air rules for heavy-duty trucks. California's rules are tougher

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued tough new emissions standards Friday for heavy-duty trucks and buses, with the aim of cutting air pollution, addressing climate change and boosting economic growth. California's government enacted similar rules last year. The state rules are tougher than the Biden administration's and are expected to remain so.

Right now electric big rigs are priced two to three times a diesel truck's costs — as much as $500,000. A recent trucking industry study concluded that turning to a 100% zero-emission trucking fleet across the U.S. by 2050 would cost more than $1 trillion, including not just the trucks, but thousands of new charging stations and the electrical system's capacity to power them.
