The EPA plans to eliminate 'low DEF' limp mode in trucks starting with 2027 models, arguing that the annoyance of the feature is unnecessary, despite it helping reduce harmful emissions. This move conflicts with existing tamper prevention regulations, raising concerns about drivers bypassing emission controls. While the regulation aims to improve air quality, critics worry it may lead to increased pollution if drivers disable DEF systems.
Toyota suspends shipments of some models, including the Hilux truck and Land Cruiser 300 SUV, due to irregularities in certification tests for diesel engines; Australia's biggest lithium mine to reduce production as demand drops and prices sink; AM radio faces lobbying battle as carmakers consider dropping it from new vehicles; Rivian hires Apple veteran DJ Novotney as senior vice president of vehicle programs.
California Air Resources Board has unanimously approved the Advanced Clean Fleets rule, banning the sale of new diesel 18-wheelers by 2036 and requiring all trucks to be zero-emission by 2042. Short-haul big rigs, local delivery vehicles, and government fleets must be zero-emission by 2035, while garbage trucks and local buses will follow in 2039, and sleeper cab 18-wheelers and other specialty vehicles must be all-electric by 2042. The move is expected to result in $26.6 billion in health savings due to fewer asthma attacks, emergency room visits, and respiratory illnesses.
California has approved new rules to phase out the sale of new diesel big rigs and buses by 2036, as part of its efforts to combat climate change and reduce pollution from heavy trucks used to transport goods through ports. The rule would require companies to disclose their use of these trucks by 2024. The state has previously approved ambitious emissions standards, including requiring all new cars, pickup trucks, and SUVs to be electric or hydrogen by 2035. The American Trucking Associations called the rule "unrealistic," while environmental groups praised the move.
California regulators have voted to ban the sale of new diesel big rigs by 2036 and require all trucks to be zero-emissions by 2042, making it the first in the world to require new commercial trucks to be electric. The mandate is estimated to deliver $26.5 billion in public health benefits in California in avoided health impacts and deaths due to diesel pollution. The trucking industry has opposed the regulations, arguing that requirements are costly as electric models are more expensive than diesel trucks.
California is set to ban sales of new diesel big rigs by 2036 and convert large companies’ existing trucks to zero emissions by 2042 in an effort to clean up noxious diesel exhaust and greenhouse gases spewed by big rigs, garbage trucks, delivery trucks and other large vehicles by converting them to models powered by electricity or hydrogen. Trucking companies and local government officials call the deadlines in the rule unachievable, citing the high cost of electric trucks and their low vehicle range, and the lack of a charging network to support electric trucks.
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.
Kern County truckers are concerned about the potential economic impact of California's plan to phase out diesel trucks by 2045. While some support the move towards cleaner air, others worry about the cost of replacing their current vehicles and the impact on their livelihoods. The regulations could also lead to higher prices for goods and services as transportation costs increase.

The new truck standards are aimed at companies that make trucks and those that own large quantities of them.
California is expected to receive a waiver from the EPA to ban diesel trucks and implement a series of regulations, including a requirement for automakers to sell an increasing number of electric trucks, leading to diesel trucks fading out 100% by 2045. The regulations would also accelerate the federal government's limit on emissions from diesel vehicles and require truckmakers to ensure their new emission controls continue to work over the vehicle's lifetime. Six other states are expected to follow California's lead. The regulations could face legal challenges, but they would likely encourage businesses to go electric and increase interest in electric trucks and vans from companies like Tesla, Ford, Rivian, and Mercedes.
