Today, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin announced a proposal estimated to save American truckers $12 billion through commonsense revisions to unnecessary and unworkable Biden-era compliance requirements. The reimagined approach also heeds calls from American truckers and diesel operators to eliminate deratements entirely, a burdensome problem often caused by Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) system failures. If finalized, the savings could reach up to $6,000 per vehicle on new truck purchases, on top of the increased productivity operators are currently losing when deratements cause sudden speed loss on the road.
