The Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) rule, which I’ve blogged about in detail before, will phase out fossil-fueled trucks over the next several decades. Similarly, the rule is estimated to reduce climate-warming GHG emissions from trucks by around 65 percent in 2050. There are more than 1.8 pollution from vehicles.
