Twelve AGs Opposed EPA’s Proposed Repeal of Glider Truck Rule

California Attorney General Xavier Becerra led 12 attorneys general in filing comments opposing the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) proposed repeal of regulations on emissions from trucks known as “gliders,” which feature a new body but a refurbished engine. The 2016 Glider Rule holds these trucks to the same emissions standards that new trucks must meet. EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt announced he would seek to repeal the Glider Rule, reportedly after meeting “with the manufacturer that stands to benefit most from the rule’s repeal.”
