Last week, Senators Schumer and Manchin announced a compromise on a reconciliation bill, called the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 , that includes significant climate and air quality progress and a goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions nationwide by 40 percent by 2030. A key step towards addressing climate change and air quality.

But while greenhouse gas emissions may be reduced, a delivery fulfilled by a diesel-burning truck may lead to increases in emissions of smog-forming nitrogen oxides and lung-damaging particulate matter.

We’ve made progress The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) contribute significantly towards the US’s 2030 climate targets (50-52% reduction of global warming emissions below 2005 levels) and exceed these targets by 2035. Since vehicles are the largest sources of PM2.5 This grows to almost $1.3

The Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) rule has the potential to significantly reduce climate-warming greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as well as harmful air pollutants like fine particulates (PM2.5) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) from the numerous commercial and government fleets of MHD vehicles in the state.

million commercial trucks on California roads, and although they make up just seven percent of vehicles on the road, these trucks are responsible for more than one-quarter of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, more than 60 percent of smog-forming nitrogen oxides (NOx) and more than 55 percent of lung- and heart-harming fine particulate (PM2.5)

Trucks and buses on California’s roads and highways are responsible for the majority of lung-damaging fine particulate and ozone-forming nitrogen oxide emissions, and a sizable amount of climate-warming greenhouse gas emissions as well.

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. If adopted in Pennsylvania, benefits would include: -- $1.8 billion cumulatively through 2050.
