Position on regulations
GHG emissions regulations The Truck and Engine Manufacturers Association (EMA) supported the Trump administration EPA's proposal to repeal the GHG emissions standards enacted by the Biden administration, and also to repeal the 2009 Endangerment Finding. The association stated that it "supports the proposal to curtail the scope of the Agency's authority to regulate GHGs, specifically as it related to the proposed rescission of the Phase 3 Standards under the major questions doctrine." The EMA advocated for the EPA to include various measures to make the repeal of the standards more litigation resistant, such as including an independent rescission of the GHG emissions separate from the repeal of the 2009 Endangerment Finding in the agency's final rule.
Under the Biden administration, the EMA opposed the administrations GHG regulations for heavy-duty vehicles. The EMA advocated to delay the standards by phasing-in the regulations more slowly, weaken the stringency of the standards by lowering the starting stringency they would move from, and to link the stringency of standards to deployment of zero-emission vehicle refueling infrastructure.
