The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on Friday said it was approving California's plans to require a rising number of zero-emission heavy-duty trucks as the state pushes to cut pollution.
California Governor Gavin Newsom said on Twitter that, as a result of the plan, "half of all heavy duty trucks sold in CA will be electric by 2035."Under an executive order Newsom signed in 2020, California plans to mandate by 2045 that all operations of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles be zero emission where feasible.
The EPA said it is not yet approving California's request to set new regulations on pollutant exhaust emission standards for nitrogen oxide and particulate matter for 2024 and future medium- and heavy-duty engines and vehicles. In December, the EPA finalized new emissions standards to drastically cut smog- and soot-forming emissions from heavy-duty trucks.
