Sixteen AGs Filed Petition for Review of EPA’s Suspension of Glider Truck Rule

JULY 19, 2018

California Attorney General Xavier Becerra led a coalition of 16 attorneys general in filing a lawsuit against the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) challenging the agency’s suspension of its 2016 Glider Truck rule. AG Becerra warned that the EPA’s decision is dangerous to human health and the environment, and noted that the EPA itself “has estimated that adding 10,000 gliders with non-compliant engines onto our roads in a single year could result in up to 1,600 premature deaths, 415,000 tons of additional nitrogen oxide emissions, and 6,800 tons of additional particulate matter emissions over the lifetime of those trucks.”
