Just read an insightful article on the Commercial Carrier Journal titled "Objectivity and Objections". The piece, provides a balanced perspective on the latest Phase 3 EPA greenhouse gas (GHG) rules and their implications for the trucking industry. The article dispels the common misperception that all long-haul trucks are going to be battery electric. In fact, Cummins’ recent news release titled “Key Takeaways from Stringent Standards Set by EPA’s New Emission Rule” suggests that in 2030, 94% of new trucks sold are likely to be internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. By 2032, the expectation is that 75% of new vehicle sales will still be ICE models. This means that in a good truck sales market year, where all the OEMs combined produce perhaps 300,000 new trucks, 225,000 of those new trucks are likely to be ICE and only 75,000 are expected to be zero-emission vehicles (ZEV). The term ZEV is quite all-encompassing. It could be battery electric, it could be hydrogen fuel cell electric, hydrogen internal combustion, or any other technology that emerges that produces no emissions. This article serves as a reminder that while we strive for cleaner and more sustainable technologies, the transition will be gradual and the internal combustion engine isn’t going anywhere any time soon. #TruckingIndustry #EPA #GreenhouseGas #EmissionRules #Sustainability https://lnkd.in/g72JEA7H

📢 Update for Truck Manufacturers in the USA 📢 🌿 Subscribers to LCP Delta's research service may recall our recent publication on the U.S. Regulation and Legislation database, highlighting upcoming legislation from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on emission standards. It's official now! Here’s high level info on the Multi-Pollutant Emissions Standards for 2027 and beyond. 🚗💨 📉 This regulation imposes a limit of 488 grams of CO2 per mile for medium-duty vehicles (MDV) starting in 2027, with a planned reduction to 274 grams per mile by 2032. This approach offers more flexibility than the initial proposal, which aimed to set MDV emissions from 178-247mg/mi for model year 2026 down to 60mg/mi for model years 2032. It is also important to recognize that this rule extends to certain heavy-duty vehicles classified as medium-duty, particularly those in the weight range of 8,501 (3.8tonnes) to 14,000 (6.3tonnes) pounds. This nuanced adjustment in emission targets reflects a balanced approach between environmental aspirations and industry capabilities. 🌍➡️🏭 🔍 The industry's reaction, especially from truck manufacturers previously committed to zero-emission tech, is yet to unfold fully. This development is a pivotal move in increasing the number of Battery Electric Trucks on US roads 🛣️🍃 For more details, click here: https://lnkd.in/eKFxqEp4 🤔 Thoughts on this regulatory adjustment's balance between environmental goals and industry capabilities? ♻️ If this update enlightened you, kindly share it within your network. Let’s foster a dialogue on the impact of these groundbreaking standards. #EPARegulations #EnvironmentalProtection #Sustainability #EmissionReduction #GreenTech

ALTERNATIVE POWER - BATTERY ELECTRIC Electric trucking costs could be more than twice diesel, report says. Electric trucking presents an enticing path towards sustainability, but at what cost? According to recent findings, the transition to battery-electric vehicles could be more than twice as expensive as diesel. This poses a significant challenge for fleets looking to make environmentally conscious decisions while also managing their bottom line. As the industry grapples with the complexities of sustainability and cost-effectiveness, it's crucial to weigh the long-term benefits against the immediate financial implications.
