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.

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

The case, Ohio vs. EPA, had a plethora of plaintiffs, including 16 states besides Ohio and a group of petroleum-focused trade groups such as the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers and the National Association...

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...

CARB boss: California, feds could align on truck pollution rules
INDIANAPOLIS — California and the federal government could align on a single regulation for nitrogen oxide emissions from trucks, but the Environmental Protection Agency would have to pick the toughest of the options it laid out in proposed rulemaking.
“I think we are interested in the federal government being as aggressive as possible,” Liane Randolph, chair of the California Air Resources Board (CARB), told FreightWaves after an address to the Green Truck Summit at NTEA Work Truck Show on...
