Update on Federal & State Rules for Zero Emission Vehicles and the Impact of the 2024 Election.
Rick Schweitzer, NEFI Regulatory Counsel, will address the complex web of new requirements affecting heating fuel distributors. Several states – including Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Vermont – have adopted stringent requirements, each with different implementation timelines and compliance standards.
Rick will also provide an update on new federal emissions standards for heavy-duty vehicles and explore how the new administration and ongoing litigation might affect those standards.
