The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on Monday said it was proposing new rules to cut smog-forming and greenhouse gas emissions from heavy duty vehicles.
The EPA is proposing to require cuts in nitrogen oxide emissions from heavy trucks that would result in a drop of 47% to 61% by 2045, the first proposed cuts to NOx for heavy duty trucks since 2001. The new standards would begin in the 2027 model year.stricter new greenhouse gas emissions standards for some types of heavy vehicles.
The group noted engines made after 2010 emit roughly 30 times less NOx than those made before 2010, but only about 50% of the fleet has turned over.The EPA said the rules would dramatically improve air quality could reduce up to 2,100 fewer premature deaths and 3.1 million fewer cases of asthma symptoms and other health issues.
The EPA estimates the program will cost manufacturers $19 billion to $31 billion through 2045 but will have net benefits of up to $220 billion.
