The NAW Legal Policy Center has filed an amicus brief with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia in Nebraska v. EPA supporting 24 Republican state attorneys general who are challenging the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) “Greenhouse Gas Emissions Standards for Heavy-Duty Vehicles – Phase 3” rule. The rule mandates stringent emissions reductions effectively requiring a rapid and costly transition to electric heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs).
“Wholesaler-distributors, the backbone of the supply chain, operate on razor-thin margins and rely heavily on heavy-duty trucks to move goods across the supply chain,” said Brian Wild, Chief Government Affairs Officer of NAW. “The exorbitant costs of acquiring and operating electric trucks, combined with their reduced payload capacities and longer charging times, will ripple through the entire supply chain.”
The NAW Legal Policy Center, launched earlier this year, is a key part of NAW’s commitment to pushing back against an increasingly repressive regulatory environment. The NAW Legal Policy Center actively challenges overreach by regulatory agencies and pursues precedent-setting litigation to defend free enterprise.
Mountain States Legal Foundation is representing NAW in this case.
