The White House proposes the government and auto industry leaders collaborate in creating a new round of emission and fuel economy requirements that would apply to heavy-duty vehicles sold after 2018.
The suggestion is part of President Barack Obama's climate action plan released on Tuesday. The report sketches out broad rather than specific goals covering pollution, energy conservation, vehicle standards and the development of advanced environmental technologies.
Tuesday's White House truck standards proposal would extend a matrix of nine standards finalized in 2011 for medium- and heavy-duty commercial vehicles.
Those rules, which will begin to phase in on a voluntary basis next year, aim to reduce emissions and improve fuel efficiency 6%-23% by 2018 compared with 2010 levels.
