EPA, DOT Finalize Phase Two Greenhouse Gas and Fuel Efficiency Standards for Heavy-Duty Trucks
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
New standards address second-largest segment of U.S. transportation in terms of emissions and energy use.
The final standards are expected to lower CO2 emissions by approximately 1.1 billion metric tons, save vehicle owners fuel costs of about $170 billion, and reduce oil consumption by up to two billion barrels over the lifetime of the vehicles sold under the program.
