ATD Commends Introduction of Resolutions to Eliminate CARB’s ACT and Low NOx regulations 

Published

TYSONS, Va. (April 3, 2025)— American Truck Dealers released the following statement on Thursday applauding Rep. John James (R-Mich.) and Rep. Jay Obernolte (R-Calif.) for introducing H.J.Res.87. and H.J.Res.89., which are Congressional Review Act resolutions to revoke CARB’s misguided ACT and Omnibus Low NOx regulations on trucks:

"The standards set forth in these two regulations have already significantly impacted truck dealers’ ability to sell trucks in the state, with California dealerships experiencing a reduction in year-over-year sales by over 50 percent. Much higher prices, limited charging and alternative fueling locations, and reduced operational performance have contributed to very limited adoption of zero-emission technology in the heavy-duty truck sector. California’s unrealistic regulatory agenda is driving fleets to keep older trucks on the road longer, setting up family-owned dealerships for failure, and increasing the cost of transportation. If these regulations aren’t stopped, American consumers will pay the price.

"ATD supports one national standard for heavy duty truck emissions with realistic timelines and requirements that can deliver innovative and cost-effective emissions solutions. The CRAs are an important step in that direction, and ATD supports their passage."
