The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced new proposed vehicle pollution standards to make all vehicles, including gas-powered cars and heavy-duty trucks, cleaner and more efficient. The EPA on Wednesday proposed two new rules.
The first rule would target emissions of greenhouse gases and smog- and soot-forming pollutants from passenger cars, vans, and light trucks. The "Multi-Pollutant Emissions Standards for Model Years 2027 and Later Light-Duty and Medium Duty Vehicles," builds on the EPA's existing emissions standards for passenger cars and light trucks for MYs 2023 through 2026.
