California and Truck Makers Forge Historic Agreement to Phase Out Gas-Powered Trucks by 2036

The California Air Resources Board and major truck manufacturers have reached an agreement to end the sale of gas-powered trucks in California by 2036, transitioning to zero emissions engines. The compromise includes following California's rules, banning the sale of new gas-powered trucks by 2036, while California regulators agreed to loosen some emission standards for diesel trucks. The agreement sets a path for zero emissions truck sales in California and other states that follow CARB regulations. However, challenges remain in developing electric semi trucks, including the need for a nationwide network of high-capacity chargers and potential cargo sacrifices due to battery weight.

California and Truck Manufacturers Reach Historic Deal to Phase Out Diesel Big Rigs

California has reached a deal with major truck manufacturers, including General Motors and Daimler Truck North America, to phase out the sale of new diesel big rigs by 2036. The agreement, called the Clean Truck Partnership, aims to achieve 100% zero-emissions medium- and heavy-duty trucks on the road by 2045. The deal provides flexibility for manufacturers during the transition and requires the California Air Resources Board to give them sufficient lead time and regulatory stability. In return, manufacturers have committed to meeting California's standards regardless of any legal challenges. However, concerns remain about the lack of infrastructure for zero-emission trucks. California is investing $10 billion to support the transition to clean energy trucks and infrastructure.

"Truck Makers and States Take Bold Steps to Phase Out Diesel and Gas Vehicles"

Major truck manufacturers, including Ford, General Motors, Daimler, and Cummins, have reached an agreement with California to phase out the sale of new diesel big rigs by 2036. The deal aims to avoid potential litigation, maintain a national standard for truck pollution rules, and transition to clean, electrified commercial trucks. The agreement, known as the Clean Truck Partnership, covers industry giants and the Truck and Engine Manufacturers Association. Diesel-powered trucks are a significant source of air pollution, particularly affecting communities near ports and warehouses. The deal could have broader implications as other states often follow California's clean-air rules, and automakers produce cars for sale nationwide at California's standards.
