Major truck manufacturers agree to phase out gas vehicles in California by 2036

California's plan to ban sales of new diesel big rigs by 2036 has been accepted by major manufacturers of heavy trucks and engines.
The agreement aims to avoid litigation and maintain a national standard for truck pollution rules.
Manufacturers such as Ford, General Motors, Daimler, and Cummins, along with the Truck and Engine Manufacturers Association, have agreed to implement California's plan regardless of court outcomes.
The deal is called the Clean Truck Partnership and was the result of negotiations between the industry and the California Air Resources Board.
Diesel-powered commercial trucks are a significant source of air pollution, particularly affecting communities near ports and warehouses.
