California's Plan to Phase Out Diesel Trucks Gets EPA Approval and Boost from Biden.

The EPA has approved California's plan to phase out a wide range of diesel-powered trucks, allowing the state to require 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.
