Advocates: new EPA regulation is good, but doesn’t go far enough
A new regulation requires manufacturers of heavy-duty gasoline and diesel vehicles to lower harmful pollutants starting with model year 2027.
A new EPA rule aims to stop pollution at the source by regulating diesel emissions from new trucks.

Reset breaks down what the regulatory measure will do—and what it won’t.
