Former Attorney General Bill Barr's free-market group sued California for its zero-emissions regulations on diesel-powered, heavy duty trucks.
dieselLaunched in 2022, the American Free Enterprise Chamber of Commerce filed the lawsuit this week with co-plaintiff Associated Equipment Distributors with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California. The suit lists California Attorney General Rob Bonta and California Air Resources Board Executive Officer Steven Cliff as defendants.
“California’s attempt to effectively abolish the internal combustion engine by forcing Americans to buy EVs is not only illegal but a threat to our American free enterprise,” BarrFox News Digital. “This mandate is unlikely to produce any net reduction in carbon emissions, and even if it does, any benefit will be negligible in comparison to the massive costs these mandates impose on our economy and individual American families.
The country’s most aggressive truck electrification plan, which requires all commercial truck sales for the fleet to be zero emissions by 2036, was adopted by CARB in 2023. The mandates target “high priority” fleets, which are companies operating 50 trucks or collecting $50 million in revenue each year. The policy states that a quarter of these box trucks and vans will be zero-emissions by 2028.
