Summary

A nonprofit called Resources for the Future recently released a study that found repeal of the federal excise tax on heavy-duty commercial vehicles should be a key tool in the United States’ push to reduce trucking’s greenhouse gas emissions through electrification. The report argues removing the currently 12% excise tax on medium- and heavy-duty electric trucks can reduce the purchase cost, and that would be part of the long-term solution to reducing trucking and the overall transportation sector’s emissions. These findings back industry demands of recent months, including from American Trucking Associations. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
