IMBEECEL !

State Democratic lawmakers are trying to pump the brakes on the Hochul administration's "nearly impossible" green-energy rule requiring more new large trucks to be emissions-free. [emphasis, links added] The proposal, pushed by state Sen. Jeremy Coney Cooney (D-Rochester) and Assemblywoman Donna Lupardo (D-Binghamton), would postpone the start of the Democratic governor's edict until at least Jan. 1, 2027.

Hochul's recent "Advanced Clean Trucks" rule requires manufacturers of vehicles greater than 8,500 pounds to sell an increasing number of zero-emission vehicles in New York, starting with a 7% zero emissions sales percentage in 2025 and ramping up every model year through 2035, to 40% for tractor sales and up to 75% for other trucks.

The legislators said the green edict promoting electric and even hydrogen-powered trucks is wreaking havoc on an important industry.
