Advanced Clean Trucks rule

House votes to revoke California’s trucking-related EPA waivers

A congressional push to end two California trucking-related emissions waivers granted by the Environmental Protection Agency passed the U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday, though California is expected to challenge Congress’ authority to take that step.

The vote in the House was 231-191 to revoke a waiver that permitted California to implement the Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) rule. The ACT rule would have mandated a road to increasing use of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs), among other...

Daimler Truck NA resumes Oregon sales after dispute over Advanced Clean Trucks rule

Daimler Truck North America has resumed selling new trucks with internal combustion engines in Oregon.

The state and Daimler said Monday that the two sides had discussed the “misunderstanding” that led Daimler to stop sales in Oregon. At issue was the calculation of credits and deficits for determining Daimler’s compliance with the Oregon version of the Advanced Clean Trucks rule, modeled after California’s precedent-setting program.

“Daimler Truck North America is resuming acceptance of all...

Court upholds EPA’s ability to grant environmental waivers to California

Real estate investors surge into electric truck charging

Somewhere around the middle of the Netflix movie “The Founder,” actor Michael Keaton’s Ray Kroc character is told that his franchise success turns on real estate, not flipping hamburgers.

The same could be said of the nascent electric truck charging business. Every electric charging depot needs land. As part of a multiprong strategy, the biggest real estate developers and a host of well-funded startups are gobbling up acreage for future sites.

The opportunity is enormous. The California Energy...
