The Biden administration finalized long-awaited regulations targeting emissions generated from heavy-duty vehicles, including trucks and buses, the latest salvo in President Biden's sweeping climate agenda. The Environmental Protection Agency announced the new regulations Friday morning, and officials said they represent the strongest-ever greenhouse gas emissions standards of their kind. The rules will kick in beginning in 2026 for model year 2027 vehicles and progressively become more stringent through model year 2032, forcing a larger number of trucks and buses to be zero-emissions in that time frame. "EPA’s standards complement President Biden’s unprecedented investment in our workers and communities to reduce harmful emissions, while strengthening our manufacturing capacity for the transportation technologies of the future," said White House Climate Advisor Ali Zaidi. "By tackling pollution from heavy-duty vehicles, we can unlock extraordinary public health, climate, and economic gains." "With the climate crisis underway and many of our communities facing unprecedented fires, droughts, and floods, it’s crucial that truck manufacturers get into the fast lane with zero-emission trucks to deliver the climate, health, and economic benefits we deserve," said Katherine Garcia, director of the Sierra Club’s Clean Transportation for All campaign. |

Civilization runs on diesel. This childish, fearful addiction to the precautionary principle will have horrible economic & supply chain negative impacts. We need to reduce central planning.

"to fight climate change". That's essentially fighting the universe and historic cycles of extreme change that have occurred long before we were here, and will continue long after we are gone.

The idiot is also looking to ban rare earth mineral mining in the US.

To my knowledge, DEF isn't used with diesel stand-by generators (basis of my comment) but makes sense with diesel trucks/tractors because they are already using it. Maybe DEF is used by generators or atleast will be. If so, that'll be something I'll have to cover costs for just like diesel fuel for test & top off. We'll see... |

In other news cost of goods went up 25% due to the policies Trump put in place 4 years ago.

Good luck, but it’s really just “somebody else’s problem”.
An analysis came out recently putting the price tag at over $1 trillion dollars to convert OTR to zero emissions. |

In fact minimizing "climate change" isn't really the goal either. The goal is to level the global playing field and that starts with degrading the US economy. Folks need to undersatnd that the unelected officials who are actually running this country hate it and what it represents. They see the US as an evil empire built in the backs of minorities whilst raping global resources. and yes….I worked the word 'whilst" into a sentance. |

It would be more productive working on establishing large mammals back to the subarctic region and repopulating our plains with Buffalo and cracking down on the illegal fishing that's destroying the krill and planktonic. The decimation and extinction of large mammals and pollution has had a greater impact on our greenhouse emissions than anything else. Of course they know this. But they have a reason for wanting to starve the world and bankrupt our economy.

Quoted: Ya gonna need Trump, otherwise we are going down another rabbit hole. View Quote We need Trump and a solid majority in both houses. It will take 8-12 years to undo the harm Biden has done. I just pray we win and have the time to right this ship. Biden may drag us into WWIII before this is over. It is time everyone wakes up and puts aside minor issues until our very survival is assured. Stop with the uniparty BS and send a donation to Trump, the RNC and your local Republicans. For those who don’t know. |

Time to shut down the EPA and fire anybody who believes in Climate Change.

Even my new super duties are burning way more def than the older units.
Can’t wait for this Right now I think I’m going through about 300 gallons a week of def I will also add the majority of my maintenance downtime is associated to after treatment systems |

Quoted: It's slowly killing the Owner/Operator truck drivers. All the added emission requirements have increased breakdowns, usually due to DEF/DPF issues. Waiting on shop time and parts can down a truck for days or even weeks (time the O/O isn't making money) and cost thousands of dollars. Parts shortages during Covid were dead lining trucks for weeks/months, some companies were seeing 10-20% of their fleet down. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: People have no fucking idea how hard this will hit their wallets. We began the process recently of building an internal rental fleet of trucks just to take care of our breakdowns in emissions systems. |
