Several other states have already adopted these standards in recent years to reduce health-harming pollution from new freight trucks and buses. The ACT requires an increasing percentage of new trucks and buses to be zero-emission through 2035, while the low-NOx standards aim to reduce nitrogen oxides from new diesel trucks.<\/p>\n<p>Taken together, these protections will prevent almost 5,000 premature deaths, save California billions of dollars in health care costs and create <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/05\/FINAL-EDF-HD-ZEV-report-5.17.22.pdf\">thousands of new jobs<\/a> by 2035. But the Truck &amp; Engine Manufacturers Association \u2014 a trade group of the nation\u2019s largest engine manufacturers, including Volvo and Daimler \u2014 has opposed these safeguards at the state and federal level, and is now challenging in court California\u2019s ability to implement the low-NOx emission standards.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The U.S. needs manufacturers to be leaders in the transition to low- and zero-emission vehicles.

Since that time, the EPA has consistently recognized the health and climate imperative in California that necessitates strong, lasting emission standards for new vehicles, granting over 50 preemption waivers in the past 50 years.<\/p>\n<p>This history underscores California\u2019s longstanding right to set standards that protect human health and address climate change, while helping to grow jobs in the state.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Health and economic benefits of the ACT, low-NOx rules<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ensuring states can move forward with the ACT and low-NOx rules is critical.<\/p>\n<p>EPA estimates that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.govinfo.gov\/content\/pkg\/FR-2022-03-28\/pdf\/2022-04934.pdf\">72 million people<\/a> live within 200 meters of a truck freight route \u2014 meaning that nearly a quarter of all Americans are at greater risk of cardiovascular disease, asthma emergency room visits and hospitalizations, as well as adverse pregnancy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lung.org\/research\/sota\/health-risks\">outcomes<\/a> due to truck pollution. But people of color and those with lower incomes bear this health burden disproportionately. According to the American Lung Association, people of color are more than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lung.org\/research\/sota\/key-findings\">three and a half times<\/a> more likely to breathe the most polluted air when compared to white people \u2014 with a significant portion coming from transportation.<\/p>\n<p>Transportation is also the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/mobile-source-pollution\">largest source<\/a> of climate pollution in the U.S., leading to more frequent and intense wildfires, droughts and extreme weather events that all Americans are experiencing first-hand. While trucks and buses make up less than 10% of all the vehicles on our roads, they are responsible for almost a quarter of all climate pollution.<\/p>\n<p>By regulating emissions from trucks and buses, it is estimated that the <a href=\"https:\/\/ww2.arb.ca.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/barcu\/regact\/2020\/hdomnibuslownox\/isor.pdf\">low-NOx<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/energyinnovation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Clean-Trucks-Big-Bucks_June_17_2020.pdf\">ACT<\/a> rules will result in statewide health benefits of $36.8 billion and up to $12 billion, respectively \u2014 in addition to the ACT creating thousands of new jobs over the lifetime of the rule. And because freight trucks and buses also consume more than 55 billion gallons of fuel annually, transitioning to zero-emission alternatives will save fleets and truckers money \u2014 especially in the face of recent diesel price increases and supply uncertainties related to the volatile global energy market.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The ACT and low-NOx rules are technologically feasible and cost effective<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Momentum in the transition to zero-emission vehicles is ramping up.<\/p>\n<p>Fleets are <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/energyexchange\/2021\/07\/28\/edf-analysis-finds-american-fleets-are-embracing-electric-trucks\/\">increasingly eager<\/a> to adopt zero-emission vehicles, and multiple zero-emission options exist today for all classes of vehicles. Model availability has <a href=\"https:\/\/calstart.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/ZIO-ZETs-Report_Updated-Final-II.pdf\">increased 625%<\/a> since 2019, proving that the technology necessary already exists. These vehicles are also becoming more affordable every day. Many electric trucks, school and transit buses will be less expensive on both a first cost and total-cost-of-ownership basis compared to their internal combustion engine counterparts by 2027, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.edf.org%2Fmedia%2Fnew-study-finds-rapidly-declining-costs-zero-emitting-freight-trucks-and-buses&amp;data=04%7C01%7Csstein%40edf.org%7C141e4be630c4443f5e4208da1e59f8c0%7Cfe4574edbcfd4bf0bde843713c3f434f%7C0%7C0%7C637855669026158426%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&amp;sdata=Aaf6pqtM%2BEGvvlcINwQqg6C9X3JF3UC31z3NrHYxWcs%3D&amp;reserved=0\">recent study by Roush<\/a> for EDF.<\/p>\n<p>Many states have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.utilitydive.com\/news\/states-must-develop-ev-infrastructure-plans-to-access-5b-in-federal-fundin\/618631\/\">embarked<\/a> on processes to leverage state and federal dollars to ensure that infrastructure is in place and range anxiety is a thing of the past. Finally, the technological hurdles necessary to meet the ambitions of the current low-NOx rule are significantly less than for past iterations of this rule. In 2013, the last time California\u2019s NOx standards were updated, the market stepped up with increased deployment of cost-effective solutions. Manufacturers can and must do so again.<\/p>\n<p>However, to accelerate the adoption and drive down the costs of zero-emission trucks and buses, market certainty is needed. Ensuring California and other states can continue to move forward with protective standards will provide much needed assurance to the market, while building on innovation and economies of scale.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The time to move forward is now<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The EPA has a critical opportunity right now to create a pathway for reducing harmful diesel pollution and ensuring greater deployment of zero-emission trucks and buses through the national emission standards it will finalize this year and moving forward with California\u2019s preemption waiver. In so doing, the agency will help protect human health and the environment, save money for truck drivers and fleets and create thousands of well-paying jobs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Larissa Koehler and Alice Henderson This week, the Environmental Protection Agency is hearing from scientists, mothers, healthcare professionals, public health and environmental advocates \u2013 including EDF \u2013 and many others who submitted comments in support of California clean truck standards.
