Obama Reaches Deal On Heavy-Duty Vehicle Efficiency Standards
President Obama yesterday announced the first fuel-efficiency and greenhouse gas standards for long-haul rigs, work trucks and other heavy-duty vehicles. This is the second 'mileage pact' with vehicle manufacturers in less than a month.
The regulations call for cutting 9% to 23% of fuel consumption and greenhouse-gas emissions by 2018, depending on the type of vehicle.
The Spokesman-Review has all the details.
