EPA’s war on diesel is a national security issue

The article states that an EPA mandate affecting diesel trucks is still in effect and impacts the trucks that move America's military freight. It frames this as a national security issue.

Why this matters to buyers

Regulatory mandates on diesel trucks may affect the availability, cost, and operational readiness of freight carriers, particularly those involved in government or military logistics. This could introduce compliance-related risks and costs into the supply chain.

Recommended buyer actions

  • Assess exposure to carriers potentially affected by diesel truck regulations.
  • Inquire with logistics partners about their compliance strategies and fleet transition plans.
  • Consider diversifying carrier base to mitigate regulatory risk.

Original source context

The pardons ended nine ordeals. The mandate that created them is still on the books, still in the field, and still pointed at the trucks that move America's military freight. The post EPA’s war on diesel is a national security issue appeared first on FreightWaves.
