California pulls back EPA requests for approval to phase out diesel-powered trains and big rigs
- California withdrew requests for federal approval to enforce rules limiting emissions from diesel-powered trains and big rigs on January 14, 2025, due to anticipated rejection by the Trump administration.
- One proposed rule would have banned new diesel-powered semi-trucks from being sold in California starting in 2036, as approved by the California Air Resources Board in 2023.
- Another rule aimed to ban locomotive engines older than 23 years by 2030 and promote zero-emissions technology for freight transport, but specifics on future actions remain unclear.
- Air Resources Board Chair Liane Randolph expressed disappointment at the withdrawal but acknowledged the need to assess options to curb emissions and improve air quality.
