The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to adopt new air pollution standards for engines with rated thrusts greater than 26.7 The proposal would reduce ground-level NO x emissions by an estimated 100,000 tons nationwide by 2030. Second, EPA is proposing amendments to the emission measurement procedures.

The European Commission found that truck makers MAN, Volvo/Renault, Daimler, Iveco, and DAF broke EU antitrust rules by colluding for 14 years on truck pricing and on passing on the costs of compliance with stricter emission rules. The decision follows the sending of a Statement of Objections to the trucks producers in November 2014.
