The Republicans&#8217; attempt to override the veto received only 50 affirmative votes in the Senate, with one coming from traditionally energy-friendly Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.).<\/p>\n<p>The resolution, sponsored by Sen. Deb Fischer (R-Neb.), narrowly passed the Senate in April by a 50-49 vote, with Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) absent. It was later approved by the House in May by a vote of 221-203.<\/p>\n<h3>Tougher Standards for Cleaner Air<\/h3>\n<p>The EPA&#8217;s rule, finalized in December, requires new heavy-duty trucks and engines starting in 2027 to meet stricter emission standards, particularly for nitrogen oxides that contribute to ground-level ozone or smog. This applies to trucks ranging from Ford F-250 pickups to semi-trucks.<\/p>\n<p>The rule is part of the Biden administration&#8217;s Clean Trucks Plan, aimed at transitioning America&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/epa-makers-of-new-heavy-trucks-must-cut-nitrogen-oxide-pollution-by-over-80-percent\/\" title=\"EPA: Makers of New Heavy Trucks Must Cut Nitrogen Oxide Pollution by Over 80 Percent\">heavy-duty trucking fleet<\/a> to low-carbon and electric technologies.<\/p>\n<p>The EPA estimates that implementing the rule will result in $29 billion in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/senate-upholds-biden-veto-of-measure-to-roll-back-epas-truck-pollution-rule\/\" title=\"Senate supports Biden's veto of EPA truck pollution rule rollback.\">net economic benefits annually<\/a>, along with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/epa-finalizes-good-neighbor-rule-to-limit-cross-state-pollution-from-coal-plants\/\" title=\"EPA finalizes 'good neighbor' rule to limit cross-state pollution from coal plants\">significant public health benefits<\/a> by 2045, including the prevention of thousands of deaths, hospital visits, and cases of childhood asthma.<\/p>\n<h2>Concerns Over Costs<\/h2>\n<p>However, Republicans remain skeptical. They argue that the additional costs associated with the new technology will burden truckers and ultimately make life harder for average Americans, as nearly all products rely on truck transportation at some point.<\/p>\n<p>The EPA estimates that meeting the new standards will cost between $2,568 and $8,304 per new vehicle, while the American Truck Dealers Association predicts that regulatory mandates could add around $40,000 to the price of a new truck.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When you force truckers to purchase new, expensive equipment, in the name<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senate Republicans failed to secure the necessary two-thirds majority on June 21 to uphold their resolution against the EPA&#8217;s air pollution regulations for heavy-duty trucks.
