The real question is does this cover commercial vehicles as well because the majority of pollution in places like the Central Valley comes from trucking not passenger vehicles. Lots of questions about this.https://twitter.com/GavinNewsom/status/1308822863940517889 …

Emissions are reduced so much from the 90s. Read an article, ill try to find it, saying 100 trucks of today pollute as much as 1 truck from 90s. Thats a HUGE reduction. So, you can understand why many of us are not big ev fans. But me, if it saves me money, deal me in
Do you know if that stat is for emissions by the industry as whole or by the trucks being produced? My understanding (very limited) is that the bigger issue is how many of those older ones are still in operation.

It's probably an average in new big rigs and it doesn't sound terrible to me as a guess. I used to DIE behind strings of trucks. Get a severe headache. Now it's not that bad but the long term health problems are more known now.

Dude in the 70's we had a '65 plymouth fury in Fresno that had no A/C. I remember being stuck behind 60's pickups and DYING because we had to have windows down in the summer. the catalycic converters and other advances have made a ground floor difference.

The problem is the sheer volume at this point. Trucks roll down 5 day and night. When the porterville DC went in for walmart it was an odd place I thought. Well off 99 even there. Way way way more trucks in. haha. They really filled in CA bigly.

I believe most major carriers are CA complaint. It would be crazy not to. For smaller indy operators it's pretty tough probably just to say "I will never take a trip to CA" and skip SF or Long Beach or San Diego trips... It all mixes evenly at upper atmosphere anyway.

We have a nice layer of turd on satellite because we're a bowl. It traps it, literally. But at ground level I don't die anymore. lol. It's just the constant stream and it's worse for asthmatics etc closer to freeways.

It was a common marketing measure they used when DPF & DEF equipt trucks were being introduced to our industry approx 2004 or 05. By 2007 all trucks were DPF equipt & i believe in 2011 all trucks were DEF equipt

You can't really be on the road in any state and not be pretty current. Maybe there's an old diesel hot that only goes across the street in Fargo but truckers like new toys as much as anyone.
