Supporters say the rules are key to reducing smog, truckers say they are unrealistic and will cause disruptions.
FILE – Trucks line up to enter a Port of Oakland shipping terminal on Nov. 10, 2021, in Oakland, Calif. President Joe Biden’s administration cleared the way for California’s plan to phase out a wide range of diesel-powered trucks, a part of the state’s efforts to drastically cut planet-warming emissions and improve air quality in heavy-traffic areas.
The rules, Sauer added “will guarantee a complete dismantling of our state’s trucking industry and have detrimental effect on goods movement and the entire supply chain.” The rule will affect 1.8 million trucks in California — everything from 18-wheel big rigs to delivery vans, garbage trucks and so-called drayage trucks that move shipping containers at ports.
The makers of all-electric eCascadia, made by Freightliner, say the Class 8 semi can go 230 miles on a full charge.
