EPA Faces Multi-Industry Lawsuit Over New Emission Standards

Coalition of agricultural, manufacturing, and energy groups challenge regulations impacting heavy-duty vehicles.

Lawsuits filed in federal court by groups including the American Petroleum Institute and National Corn Growers Association.
New rules aim to cut greenhouse gas emissions from trucks, buses, and other heavy-duty vehicles by 2032.
Critics argue the standards will harm the economy, increase costs, and strain the electric grid.
EPA asserts the regulations will reduce pollution and benefit public health and vulnerable populations.
Plaintiffs claim the EPA lacks the authority to enforce such sweeping changes without congressional approval.
