California to phase out diesel trucks with EPA approval.

The US Environmental Protection Agency has approved California's plan to phase out diesel-powered trucks, requiring truck manufacturers to sell an increasing number of zero-emission trucks over the next couple of decades. The new truck standards are aimed at companies that make trucks and those that own large quantities of them. Companies owning 50 or more trucks will have to report information to the state about how they use these trucks to ship goods and provide shuttle services. The transportation sector accounts for nearly 40% of California’s greenhouse gas emissions.
