Zero Emissions in Freight: Heavy-Duty Trucks (HDT)
In order to address the impacts from freight related trucking, Moving Forward Network (MFN) demands comprehensive regulations that center the needs of frontline and fenceline workers and communities. Without these critical regulations and resources, our communities will continue to suffer from the public health and environmental damages caused by the heavy-duty truck sector.
MFN’s Demands on Heavy-Duty Trucks
- Transition to zero-emission trucks and buses, by setting stringent emissions standards and zero-emission sales mandates.
- Require that all new trucks are zero emissions.
- Retire all combustion trucks.
- Consider environmental justice impacts and priorities “from source to tailpipe to grave.”
- Not promote false solutions (e.g., carbon trading and/or “greenwashed” energy that comes from non-renewable and heavy-polluting sources such as natural gas, biomass, etc.).
