WASHINGTON—The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has unveiled new proposed federal vehicle emissions standards that could accelerate the ongoing transition to electric vehicles. If enacted, the standards for light-, medium- and heavy-duty vehicles for model year 2027 and beyond would significantly reduce air pollution.
The “Multi-Pollutant Emissions Standards for Model Years 2027 and Later Light-Duty and Medium Duty Vehicles” builds on EPA’s existing emission standards for passenger cars and light trucks.
