If these new regulations are left to stand, get ready for inflation like you have never seen. When trucking cost go up, the cost of the goods you need to buy will also go up. We'll be regressing back to the Carter years.........

Biden cracks down on diesel trucks in bid to fight climate change, reduce emissions

The trucking industry warns these stringent new measures could have far-reaching economic repercussions

The Biden administration finalized long-awaited regulations targeting emissions generated from heavy-duty vehicles, including trucks and buses, the latest salvo in President Biden's sweeping climate agenda.

The Environmental Protection Agency announced the new regulations Friday morning, and officials said they represent the strongest-ever greenhouse gas emissions standards of their kind. The rules will kick in beginning in 2026 for model year 2027 vehicles and progressively become more stringent through model year 2032, forcing a larger number of trucks and buses to be zero-emissions in that time frame.

The EPA needs to just go away.  Seriously.  First they require DEF, then a lot of people that run larger machines (myself included) have to run the machine wide-open for a length of time to do a "re-gen cycle" burning fuel without doing work... all because of EPA rules.

Most of those agencies need to go away. They serve no purpose other than to cost us time and money.
