Emissions from trucks are the fastest growing source of greenhouse gases, and the number of truck miles traveled on the nation’s roads is forecast to continue to grow significantly in the coming decades. Medium- and heavy-duty trucks are a major source of harmful smog-forming pollution, particulate matter, and air toxics.
