Trucking Industry Slams Biden Regime Over Stringent New Regulations for Heavy-Duty Vehicles to Combat Climate Change

• In what is being touted as the most aggressive move yet against transportation sector emissions, the Biden regime unveiled a sweeping set of emissions standards for heavy-duty vehicles

• The new rule, issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), enforces progressively tighter restrictions on a broad range of heavy-duty vehicles, including everything from city buses to interstate freight haulers, starting with the model year 2027 and extending through 2032.
• EPA released the announcement:

Trucking.org released the following statement:

The trucking industry says new emission standards for heavy-duty trucks announced today by the Biden Administration have unachievable targets and will carry real consequences for the U.S. supply chain and movement of freight throughout the economy.

“ATA opposes this rule in its current form 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,” said ATA President and CEO Chris Spear. “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.”

This action echoes last week’s stringent measures for new passenger vehicles and light trucks.

‘National Economic Catastrophe’: Gov Warns About Effects Of Baltimore Bridge Collaps

• Democratic Maryland Gov. Wes Moore warned Sunday on CNN about the effects that could be seen nationwide after a Baltimore bridge collapsed earlier this week.
• “Could Americans see delays and higher prices as a result?” Bash questioned.
• “Absolutely and people have to remember this is not a Baltimore catastrophe, not a Maryland catastrophe. This is a national economic catastrophe as well. As you mentioned, this port is one of the busiest, most active ports inside of the country, so this is not just going to have an impact on Maryland. This is going to impact the farmer in Kentucky. This is going to impact the auto dealer in Ohio. This is going to impact the restaurant owner in Tennessee,” Moore stated.
• “Whether you talk about all those various industries, the port of Baltimore is the largest port in the country for all of those things. And so the reason that we need people to move in a bipartisan basis and move in a fast basis is not because we need you to do Maryland a favor. Maryland needs no favors. We need to make sure that we‘re actually moving quickly to get the American economy going again because the port of Baltimore is instrumental in our larger economic growth.”
