“Welcome News” – Engine Manufacturers Drop Lawsuit Over California Freight Truck Pollution Standards
Statement of Alice Henderson, EDF Director of Transportation and Clean Air Policy
“The Engine Manufacturers Association said today that it will drop its harmful lawsuit challenging California’s freight truck pollution standards, and that’s welcome news. Several of the association’s members – including Ford, GM, Honda and Cummins – had already stated publicly that they did not support that litigation.
“There’s an urgent need, and also a huge opportunity, for all of us to work together to eliminate climate destabilizing and health-harming pollution from medium and heavy-duty trucks, and to do so in a way that saves truckers money and grows well-paying jobs. Manufacturers are already investing billions of dollars in zero-emitting solutions, and we should build on that strong foundation.”
