Central California Asthma Collaborative (CCAC) stands in support of
this latest changes to the Advanced Clean Truck Rule. Mobile source
emissions from trucks of all classes are responsible for the
majority of air pollution and climate emissions in California and
most of the nation. These changes ensure that the wide variety of
vehicles are available to the the industry to meet both everyday
and more nuanced needs in the numbers that ensure CA stays on track
to meet the 2045 goal of 100% new ZEV truck sales. Most
importantly, these changes provide market flexibility without
surrendering critical accountability and safety requirements. CCAC
also believes these changes will directly and indirectly create an
accelerated increase in the number of ZEV trucks reaching the
secondary market. The secondary or "used" vehicle market is
critical for smaller trucking concerns who often operate locally in
low income communities, that are already bearing the brunt of air
pollution and climate impacts to their health and local economy.
