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 rule applies to a wide range of trucks including box trucks, semitrailers and even large passenger pick-ups. The transportation sector accounts for nearly 40% of California’s greenhouse gas emissions. 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. Manufacturers will have to sell a higher percentage of zero-emission vehicles starting in 2024.
