Switching to zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles – like trucks and buses – saves lives by reducing harmful air pollution. Plus, it’s a critical part of the solution for addressing climate change.
Here’s the great news: the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the White House recently finalized strong rules to reduce emissions from heavy-duty vehicles nationwide. These standards will save lives. And they’re popular – our poll shows that 7 in 10 voters support EPA action to clean up truck pollution.
Now, EPA must build on its work and take additional steps toward a zero-emission transportation future. And states must adopt a policy called the Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) rule to drive toward a zero-emission future for heavy-duty vehicles.
