"Biden Administration's New EV Rules Spark Controversy in Trucking Industry"

The Biden administration's new emissions regulations for heavy-duty vehicles have sparked outrage among small business truckers, with the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association warning that the measures could put many independent drivers out of business. The regulations, announced by the Environmental Protection Agency, aim to make a large number of trucks and buses zero-emissions by 2032, but critics argue that the operational challenges and infrastructure requirements pose significant obstacles. The administration claims the regulations will lead to significant greenhouse gas emissions reductions and societal benefits, but industry representatives are concerned about the practicality and potential impact on livelihoods.
