Truck makers sue California in bid to abandon zero-emissions agreements

Daimler, Volvo, Paccar, and Traton sued California on Monday to invalidate the 2023 Clean Truck Partnership emissions deal in federal court.
The lawsuit stems from a conflict between California’s stricter emissions standards and federal law, with manufacturers seeking clarity on legal obligations for model year 2026.
California mandates zero-emission truck sales by 2035–2042 depending on weight, aiming for 100% zero-emission heavy-duty truck sales by 2045, though electric trucks still represent under 2% of sales.
Nebraska Attorney General Hilgers hailed Monday’s dismissal of a related lawsuit as a victory against policies he called a 'conspiracy to completely phase out' fossil fuel semitrucks, emphasizing economic risks to trucking firms and consumers.
The ongoing disputes suggest continued legal and political challenges over emissions mandates, with federal courts expected to decide the Clean Truck Partnership's enforceability amid competing state and federal authority claims.
