The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency finalized on March 29 a rule further limiting heavy-duty truck emissions. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said the regulation's goal is to increase the share of electric vehicles in the U.S. truck fleet by 2032.
The rule, which applies only to manufacturers of new trucks, includes new greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions standards for eight different types of trucks including some used in construction and many used to haul materials and equipment.
