The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has finalized the most stringent national greenhouse gas pollution standards for heavy-duty vehicles, including freight trucks and buses, for model years 2027 through 2032. This regulation aims to curb 1 billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions, providing an estimated $13 billion in annual net benefits encompassing public health improvements, climate mitigation, and substantial savings for truck owners and operators. Specifically targeting the 72 million Americans living near truck freight routes, predominantly from lower-income communities, the new standards promise significant reductions in dangerous air pollutants.
