The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) just finalized its Phase 3 greenhouse gas regulation as a part of the administration’s plan to decarbonize the transportation sector. The Phase 3 regulation will cut new greenhouse gas emissions from trucks in 2032 by 32 to 62 percent for vocational trucks (e.g.,

cities move toward their greenhouse gas reduction goals via a cleaner national electric grid, increased vehicle and building electrification, and new distributed renewable energy resources. More details regarding funding applications will need to be made available by the EPA, and funding is set to remain available until September 30, 2027.

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.

Beginning in 2027, the ACF would require all new medium- and heavy-duty vehicles purchased by public agencies to be emissions-free, including large work trucks and vans, street sweepers, vacuum trucks, and other similar vehicles. There are more than 1.8 Public Agency Fleets.

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.

This year, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) proposed new emissions and fuel economy standards (respectively) for model year 2027-2032 passenger cars and light trucks (sedans, utility vehicles, pickups, etc.). However, the agency considered a range of alternatives.
