California set to ban all heavy diesel trucks and vans by 2045
- etaioinshrdlu 6y agoThe title is misleading. They are only going to ban sales within the state. Honestly, the rule seems to mean almost nothing if you can just drive any truck in from anywhere. This is an incredibly weak move.
- brudgers 6y agojust drive any truck in from anywhere California has emissions testing as part of vehicle registration. Historically, this is the same strategy that raised automobile emission standards starting in the 1970's. Or to put it another way, the people who sat around devising the scheme spent all day getting paid to think about it for "n number of days" and have careers worth of experience doing this doing these sorts of things to address these sorts of issues.
