Mike Kastner
NTEA Senior Vice President
The work truck industry faced significant regulatory turbulence in 2025 as federal, state and international emissions policies continued to shift. This Capitol Hill update explains how ongoing changes at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), California Air Resources Board (CARB) and Canadian regulators are creating uncertainty for manufacturers navigating greenhouse gas (GHG) standards, zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) mandates and evolving compliance programs. NTEA remains actively engaged with policymakers to advocate for regulatory stability, market-driven solutions and a balanced path forward for propulsion technologies and alternative fuels.
