WASHINGTON – Following the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s release of the final Multi-Pollutant Emissions Standards for Model Years 2027 and Later Light-Duty and Medium-Duty Vehicles, Electric Drive Transportation Association (EDTA) President Genevieve Cullen issued the following statement:
“EDTA supports the work of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Administration to combat climate change, and we applaud the national commitment to advancing e-mobility. The final rule calling for aggressive light-duty and medium-duty vehicle emissions reductions underscores the potential for greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction through the entire suite of electric drive technologies, encompassing hybrid electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid EVs, battery EVs, and fuel cell EVs.
“EDTA appreciates the evolution of this rule, which maintains ambitious GHG reduction goals while providing meaningful milestones for the market and essential benefits to consumers and the nation.”
