They will go into effect in model year 2027 and steadily increase in stringency through model year 2032. Here’s what you need to know: Climate Transportation is the largest source of climate emissions in the US (29 percent) and passenger cars and trucks account for the majority of this pollution. Far from it.

I recently wrote a (very wonky) paper about how giving credits to technology deployment in advance of the beginning of the rule in 2027 could pose a serious problem to the long-term effectiveness on the rule at driving the cleanest technology to market, but it’s worth summarizing here. EPA has proposed three different early credit programs.

The Advanced Clean Trucks standard modeled in the report would require manufacturers, beginning in 2027, to increase their zero-emission truck sales to between 30-50 percent by 2030 and 40-75 percent by 2035. The report was prepared by ERM and commissioned by NRDC and the Union of Concerned Scientists. These gains include $1.3
