Sen. Deb Fischer’s bill to overturn an EPA regulation on the emissions of heavy-duty vehicles, such as semi-trucks, is headed to President Biden’s desk after the U.S. House of Representatives passed the legislation Tuesday, 221-203.
The rule’s new standards cover nitrogen oxides and other air pollutants including particulate matter, hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide. The rule would also change requirements regarding emission controls and emission-related warranties.
The EPA estimated the technology required to meet the standards would cost $2,568-$8,304 per vehicle. The American Truck Dealers Association estimates a likely $42,000 increase per truck. In total, the EPA projects the associated costs of this new regulation on the country could reach $55 billion over the life of the program, Fischer said.
