U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin announced the agency will reconsider the Model Year 2027 and Later Light-Duty and Medium-Duty Vehicles regulation and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Standards for Heavy-Duty Vehicles.
In addition to imposing over 700 billion dollars in regulatory and compliance costs, these rules provided the foundation for the Biden-Harris electric vehicle (EV) mandate that takes away Americans’ ability to choose a safe and affordable car for their family and increases the cost of living on all products that trucks deliver.
“The American auto industry has been hamstrung by the crushing regulatory regime of the last administration. As we reconsider nearly one trillion dollars of regulatory costs, we will abide by the rule of law to protect consumer choice and the environment,” says Zeldin.
Additionally, EPA is reevaluating the other parts of the Biden EPA’s problematic “Clean Trucks Plan.”
This includes the 2022 Heavy-Duty Nitrous Oxide (NOx) rule, that results in significant costs that will make the products our trucks deliver, like food and other household goods, more expensive.
“Protecting and Bringing Back American Auto Jobs” is Pillar 5 of Administrator Zeldin’s Powering the Great American Comeback initiative.
“President Donald Trump and Administrator Zeldin are fulfilling their promise to bring back American auto jobs and invest in domestic manufacturing to revitalize a quintessential American industry,” says the press release.
This was announced in conjunction with a number of historic actions to advance President Trump’s Day One executive orders and Power the Great American Comeback.
Combined, these announcements represent the greatest and most consequential day of deregulation in the history of the United States.
While accomplishing EPA’s core mission of protecting the environment, the agency is committed to fulfilling President Trump’s promise to unleash American energy, lower costs for Americans, revitalize the American auto industry, restore the rule of law, and give power back to states to make their own decisions.
