New Mexico could adopts three clean vehicle rules: the Advanced Clean Truck rule, the Heavy-Duty NOx Omnibus rules,
will ramp up manufacturer sales requirements for zero-emission vehicles , slashing tailpipe air pollution and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. For example, the ACT rule alone would lower greenhouse gas emissions from trucks by more than 45 percent from 2022 levels., growing GDP by $84 million by 2035, supporting hundreds of high-paying jobs, and attracting local infrastructure investments. Fleets and consumers will save money by filling up with less expensive electricity.
New Mexico should adopt the clean vehicle rules to eliminate transportation-related air pollution and emissions while jumpstarting the market for zero-emission cars and trucks. Together, these three rules would pave the way for a cleaner, healthier future for all New Mexicans.Trucks have an outsized impact on air pollution.
Moreover, communities of color and low-income communities in New Mexico are more likely to live near major truck routes, ports, or warehouses, where they experience significantly more air pollution than white or wealthier residents. Although new vehicle emission standards do not guarantee emission reductions in frontline communities, these rules, paired with complementary targeted policies, can help alleviate this inequitable burden.
