"States and EPA Unite to Accelerate Electric Truck Adoption and Ban Gas-Powered Car Sales"

The Biden administration has announced new regulations aimed at boosting sales of electric and zero-emission heavy vehicles, such as school buses and cement mixers, as part of its efforts to combat global warming. The Environmental Protection Agency projects that by 2032, 25 percent of new long-haul trucks and 40 percent of medium-size trucks could be nonpolluting. The regulation applies to over 100 types of vehicles and sets increasingly stringent limits on truck pollution, leaving it up to manufacturers to decide how to comply, which could include technologies like hybrids or hydrogen fuel cells.
