EPA proposes weakening heavy-duty truck pollution rules from Biden-era standards.
The Trump administration's EPA proposed rolling back Biden-era emissions rules for heavy-duty trucks. The changes would reduce warranty and useful life requirements for emissions technology and eliminate an automatic power-reduction mandate. EPA analysis projects the changes would increase nitrogen oxide pollution by 4.2% in 2030 and 11.6% by 2055.
