The proposal aims to limit tailpipe emissions of carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides and other forms of toxic pollution from vehicles. The stronger proposals build on the Biden administration\u2019s recent rules on vehicle emissions standards and heavy-duty truck standards. The Biden administration\u2019s goal is to see electric vehicle adoption reach 64,69% by 2032%, a goal that is now achievable with consumer incentives from the Inflation Reduction Act and investments in charging infrastructure from the bipartisan Infrastructure Act. The transition to zero-emission vehicles will deliver a host of societal benefits, including $735 billion in public health benefits from cleaner air, 1.75 million fewer asthma attacks and 8.5 million fewer lost work days, according to a recent analysis by the American Lung Association. Reducing pollution from vehicles, especially highly polluting trucks, can also improve air quality for disadvantaged communities that are disproportionately affected by proximity to freight routes.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Washington, DC (April 12, 2023) \u2013 The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) today announced stricter proposed pollution standards for heavy-duty and light-duty vehicles for model years (MY) 2027 through 2032.
