Indeed. This legislation for 2024 attempts to regulate every heavy tractor in the country, and charge them a per tractor fee for doing so. Apparently the fee schedule was defeated in court, and enactment delayed. Emissions have come an amazing distance in the last 30 years, and while generally I support legislation that protects the air we breathe and live in, the engines to meet these more stringent NOX emissions doesn’t exist. Electric heavy vehicles aren’t yet a viable option, and the life cycle emissions are not much better, particularly when consideration of electrical energy generation sources are taken in to account. Anyway, my simple note agreeing with you turned into a rant. It all looks like an agenda to push electric vehicle technology, and it’s likely a few people’s well placed investments in electrical vehicle resources driving the legislation. It’s likely not about the well being of people or our environment.
