Truck Lobbying Group Seeks to Join Lawsuit In Support of Trump EPA’s Rollback of Vehicle Standards & Repeal of Endangerment Finding - CleanTechnica

The Truck and Engine Manufacturers Association (EMA) has filed to join a lawsuit supporting the Trump-era Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) rollback of vehicle emissions standards and the repeal of the endangerment finding related to climate change. This move aligns EMA with efforts to weaken regulations aimed at reducing pollution from trucks, which has drawn criticism from environmental groups. In response, the Sierra Club, a leading environmental organization, condemned EMA’s intervention, accusing truck manufacturers such as Daimler and Volvo of delaying progress on clean truck technologies and now opposing standards that promote cleaner, more sustainable transportation. Sierra Club’s Clean Transportation for All Director Katherine García emphasized the urgency of transitioning away from diesel fuel, which has become increasingly expensive, and called on manufacturers to invest in electrification and support policies that advance clean truck adoption to protect public health and combat climate change. The Sierra Club continues to advocate for strong environmental protections through grassroots activism, education, lobbying, and legal action, aiming to safeguard communities and promote clean energy solutions.
