US federal government plan new rules to cut carbon emissions from trucks
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) plan new rules to cut carbon emissions from trucks and to reduce alleged global warming trends.
"With emission reductions weighing in at one billion tonnes, this proposal will save consumers, businesses and truck owners money; and at the same time spur technology innovation and job-growth," EPA’s administrator Gina McCarthy said.
The standards are expected to lower CO2 emissions by one billion tonnes, cut fuel costs by US$170 billion.
