Truck Lobbying Group Seeks to Join Lawsuit In Support of Trump EPA’s Rollback of Vehicle Standards & Repeal of Endangerment Finding

WASHINGTON, D.C. - On Friday, the Truck and Engine Manufacturers Association (EMA) filed a motion to intervene in the lawsuit that the Sierra Club and its partners brought against Trump's EPA over its repeal of the endangerment finding and vehicle emission standards.

In response to EMA's intervention, Sierra Club Clean Transportation for All Director Katherine García released the following statement:

"The Truck and Engine Manufacturers Association's support of EPA's repeal of life-saving clean truck standards is appalling. Truck manufacturers like Daimler and Volvo have slow-walked clean trucks for years and now want to throw them under the bus altogether, undermining American competitiveness and thumbing their nose at truck drivers and communities who demand the health and climate benefits of clean trucks. At a time when diesel is skyrocketing above $5 a gallon, truck manufacturers can no longer afford to cling to the past-they must invest in a cleaner, more resilient future and support the policies needed to accelerate truck electrification."
