Plaintiffs in a major case challenging the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA's) new heavy-duty vehicle emissions standards filed their opening brief in litigation, Fox News Digital has learned.
The new rules, finalized in March, stipulate that 40% of work trucks and 25% of semis would have to be zero emissions vehicles (ZEVs) by 2032, among other restrictions.
The American Petroleum Institute (API), a group representing 600 entities that produce and distribute the majority of U.S. energy and a prominent plaintiff in one of the suits, saw the court consolidate its filing with those from half a dozen other similar lawsuits brought by corn growers, trucking interests and a consortium of 25 states led by Nebraska.
