DALLAS, TEXAS (RFD NEWS) — The trucking industry is weighing in on a new proposal by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to eliminate diesel exhaust fluid deratements entirely.
EPA Region 6 Administrator Scott Mason joined us on Monday’s Market Day Report to discuss the proposal, what it means for truckers and diesel operators, and the potential impact on farmers and consumers.
In his interview with RFD News, Mason discussed the concerns from American truckers and diesel operators that led to the proposal and why eliminating diesel exhaust fluid deratements has been an issue of importance.
He also explained how the proposal could impact farmers and highlighted the EPA’s estimated $12 billion in savings for truckers, including how those savings could affect consumers and the broader economy.
Mason discussed the EPA’s proposal to scale back emissions warranty requirements and the potential benefits for the trucking industry.
