The Biden administration cleared the way for California’s plan to phase out a wide range of diesel-powered trucks, part of the state’s efforts to drastically cut planet-warming emissions and improve air quality.

The announcement came as advocates are pushing for more ambitious tailpipe emissions standards in other states and at the national level. But some in the trucking industry are concerned about how costly and burdensome the transition will be for truck drivers and companies.
