The Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) is a federal initiative managed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) focused on reducing harmful diesel emissions across the United States. DERA provides grants and rebates to support the replacement, retrofitting, or repowering of older diesel engines with newer, cleaner technologies in vehicles such as trucks, buses, and marine vessels. This program targets state, local, and tribal agencies, as well as non-profits and private companies, particularly in areas with high pollution levels. For more detailed information, visit the EPA's DERA Program page.
The EPA Clean Trucks Plan is a set of federal regulations aimed at significantly reducing emissions from medium- and heavy-duty vehicles. The plan includes multiple phases, with the Phase 3 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Standards being a key component. These standards, effective for model years 2027-2032, mandate a 44% reduction in GHG emissions for these vehicles. The Clean Trucks Plan is designed to promote the adoption of advanced technologies and alternative fuels, ultimately ensuring cleaner air, and fostering a sustainable market for zero-emission vehicles. For more information visit the EPA website.
The Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) Regulation, implemented by the California Air Resources Board (CARB), establishes a clear trajectory towards zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) sales. Starting in 2024, these regulations mandate that 9% of all new vehicle sales in participating states must be electric, with this requirement increasing incrementally to 75% by 2035. These mandates have already been adopted in states like California, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Vermont, with additional states expected to implement similar requirements. The ACT Regulation promotes the development and deployment of electric trucks, fostering a sustainable market for zero-emission vehicles and significantly reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions.
