The Clean Freight Coalition penned this piece to raise awareness of the inflationary costs that will undoubtedly occur as a result of the hyper aggressive and unattainable EPA and CARB emission regulations. There are cleaner fuel options that provide immediate reductions in truck emissions and without a $1 trillion upgrade to the grid. The ill advised regulations must be corrected, or the entire supply chain and consumers will take a tremendous hit that isn’t necessary.
Aggressive emission regulation will drive up costs everywhere

10 US states have now mandated rising electric truck and van quotas to commence 2027. While road fleets don't seek more regulation, mandates create reliable demand for zero emission truck makers to fulfil. Jurisdictions with mandates will get all the supply, leaving those without mandates further back in the global queue. Can't decarbonise logistics supply chains without 'em. #cleantransport #sustainablelogistics #netzero https://lnkd.in/dAN88wCm

"It appears as if ambitious new fuel efficiency regulations that would require Americans to adopt many more electric vehicles are to be watered down. Last year, President Biden's administration published proposed new Corporate Average Fuel Economy regulations for 2027–2030, regulations that would require automakers to sell four times as many zero-emissions vehicles as they do now. But opposition to the new CAFE standards has been fierce, and now Reuters reports that the White House is backing down and will issue new guidelines with less ambitious goals in the coming weeks" #automotiveindustry #climatechange https://lnkd.in/edmPtp4g

The Biden administration has unveiled its ambitious proposal to propel America's transition to all-electric passenger vehicles. Under these new fuel economy rules, automakers would be required to enhance the average mileage of passenger cars by 2% per year and light trucks by 4% annually between 2027 and 2032. If successful, this means that by 2032, new vehicles sold in the US would boast an impressive average fuel economy of 58 miles per gallon! The proposal is not only about fuel efficiency; it's a significant step toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The Transportation Department estimates that by 2050, it could save a whopping 88 billion gallons of gasoline and thwart over 900 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions. That's equivalent to taking more than 233 million vehicles off the road from 2022 to 2050! The financial impact is equally significant. By conserving fuel, consumers could save substantial money, contributing to both their pockets and the nation's energy security. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg echoes this sentiment, stating, "Better vehicle fuel efficiency means more money in Americans' pockets and stronger energy security for the entire nation." As with any ambitious climate policy, legal challenges are anticipated. To strengthen its stance, the Biden administration has devised two sets of rules: the fuel economy rule and the Environmental Protection Agency's proposal to limit tailpipe pollution. Together, they seek to push for a greater adoption of all-electric passenger vehicles, with a goal of two-thirds of all new cars sold in the US being electric by 2032. The administration believes that if one rule faces legal hurdles, the other may prevail. The proposed rules are not yet set in stone; public comments will be taken, and both agencies will refine them before issuing the final regulations next year. The anticipated court battles could ultimately lead to the Supreme Court. Nonetheless, this bold initiative sets a course toward a greener future, but the results may be subject to the winds of political change. #BidenAdministration #ClimateAction #ElectricVehicles #FuelEconomy #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy

We oppose the new emission standards for heavy-duty trucks announced today by EPA, because the post-2030 targets remain entirely unachievable given the current state of zero-emission technology, the lack of charging infrastructure and restrictions on the power grid. Given the wide range of operations required of our industry to keep the economy running, a successful emission regulation must be technology neutral and cannot be one-size-fits-all. Any regulation that fails to account for the operational realities of trucking will set the industry and America’s supply chain up for failure. Our industry has a proud pedigree and commitment to a clean environment. Tailpipe emissions have been reduced by 98.5% over the past four decades, equating to 60 trucks today emitting what one truck emitted in 1988. We are fully committed to the road to zero emissions, but the path to get there must be paved with commonsense. While we are disappointed with today’s rule, we will continue to work with EPA to address its shortcomings and advance emission-reduction targets and timelines that are both realistic and durable, and that account for the operational realities of our industry. https://lnkd.in/esV-pQhK

As part of the government’s shakeup of its net zero policies, the petrol and diesel car ban has been pushed back to 2035. This is due to concerns around high costs, practicality issues for small businesses and the need for more charging stations. We’ve put together a blog that explains what you need to know, including ⬇️ 👉 The impact 👉 How the vehicles industry is changing (more EVs) 👉 Preparing for the change 👉 Financing your vehicle(s) https://lnkd.in/e2U7EPVs
