US EditionTrump seeks to sue California over clean trucking effort
The Department of Justice alleges California unlawfully enforces emissions standards for heavy-duty trucks, challenging the state’s Clean Truck Partnership aiming to phase out diesel trucks by 2036.
- On Friday, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against California aiming to halt the implementation of its emissions rules for heavy-duty trucks.
- The lawsuit follows President Donald Trump's June law invalidating EPA waivers that previously allowed California to set stricter emissions rules.
- California's Air Resources Board enforces these regulations through the Clean Truck Partnership, which involves major truck manufacturers and targets zero-emission technology.
- Adam Gustafson, acting head of the Justice Department’s Environment and Natural Resources Division, described the lawsuit as a challenge to illegal regulations that conflict with federal law and emphasized that CARB should honor the democratic process.
- The legal action may affect about 400,000 registered heavy-duty diesel trucks in California and signals ongoing conflict between state and federal environmental policies.
