"The EPA is setting unachievable emission reduction targets, this time targeting heavy-duty trucks which are responsible for an enormous portion of freight movement in the United States," said American Energy Alliance President Thomas Pyle.
"The technology needed to electrify the trucking industry is nowhere near ready, and this rule is setting us on a collision course for supply chain disasters," Pyle continued. "By increasing the cost of shipping with this rule, the Biden administration is once again demonstrating their lack of concern for American families who have been hit hard by inflation and the onslaught of rules and regulations that are making it increasingly difficult to do business in the United States."
Similarly, the American Trucking Association argued that the new rules are just unattainable given the current technology and infrastructure limitations. "The post-2030 targets remain entirely unachievable," said CEO Chris Spear. "Any regulation that fails to account for the operational realities of trucking will set the industry and America's supply chain up for failure." Meanwhile, other groups claim that the rule heavily favors zero-emission vehicles. Todd Spencer, the president of the Independent Drivers Association representing small trucking companies, accused the Biden administration of destroying local businesses with an onslaught of impractical environmental regulations. In a joint statement with the American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers, the American Petroleum Institute, the leading lobbying group for the oil and gas industry, labeled it as another attempt to limit options for American consumers, businesses and industries. These organizations urged Congress to overturn the rule and proclaimed their readiness to challenge it in court if necessary.
