Biden has pledged a Clean Trucks Plan to encourage technological development and impose regulations to reduce the sector’s greenhouse gas emissions, but the rules aren’t expected to be finalized until 2022. At the White House event, Biden framed both the new car rules and his forthcoming effort to crack down on truck emissions as a crucial part of his climate agenda. But the government is playing catch-up on regulating truck emissions.

AdvertisementNow Biden says he will issue a pair of major regulations over the next three years as part of his Clean Trucks Plan.
