Illinois mulls ambitious clean truck mandates despite…

Manufacturers including Daimler Truck’s Freightliner, Volvo, Navistar, GM, and Ford have introduced or increased sales of electric trucks since California adopted its clean trucks program, according to Calstart, and companies have also rolled out charging infrastructure and heavy-duty ​“charging-as-a-service” offerings that include installation, maintenance, and management.

“If Illinois adopts [the Advanced Clean Trucks program], we could expect to see new truck charging stations pop up at rest stops along major freight corridors like I-57, I-80, and I-70,” said DelloIacono. ​“This in turn would make it easier for fleet operators in nearby states to start adopting zero-emission trucks for regional-haul and long-haul routes.”

Ann Schreifels, who testified before the Pollution Control Board, said she saw firsthand how regulations drive industry innovation when she worked at the machinery manufacturing firm Caterpillar in Peoria, Illinois. Schreifels, who retired about five years ago, said she does not speak for the company but recalled how industry opposition to new federal emissions regulations gave way to progress once they took effect.

“The entire industry was against the regulations,” she told Canary Media. ​“Change is hard. It took the fuel manufacturers, suppliers, designers, software engineers all working together to solve the problem. But the end result was the company made the best engine they’d ever made — more fuel efficient, more reliable, more durable, it saved customers money. Despite the fact that industry is going to complain and lobby against regulations, that’s when innovation actually happens.”

A national association of small businesses told regulators they oppose the program and that it could drive businesses out of Illinois. But other companies have expressed support, including Kansas-based electric truck manufacturer Orange EV and Rivian, the electric pickup truck manufacturer with a factory in Normal, Illinois.

Tom Van Heeke, environmental and legal senior policy advisor at Rivian, said in an email, ​“The standards would set Illinois apart as the Midwest’s undisputed priority market for EVs, giving adjacent industries — from EV suppliers to charging providers — investment certainty while delivering EV choice and cleaner air to businesses and communities across the state.”

How Trump could upend efforts to bring California’s clean vehicle mandates to Illinois

The federal Clean Air Act governs vehicle emissions but grants California the right to receive waivers from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency allowing the state to impose stricter standards. A 1990 Clean Air Act amendment also lets other states adopt California’s standards.

President Donald Trump has long denounced California’s vehicle emissions programs and during his first term revoked the state’s waivers.

The Biden administration’s EPA granted California’s Advanced Clean Trucks waiver in 2023 and in December 2024 granted the state’s Advanced Clean Cars II waiver, letting it ban sales of new gas-powered cars by 2035.

On Jan. 13, ahead of Trump’s inauguration, California preemptively withdrew its request for a waiver to implement its Advanced Clean Fleets program that would have ordered all commercial trucking fleets to transition to zero-emissions between 2035 and 2042.

The EPA can revoke waivers through a lengthy process, as it did during the previous Trump administration, but Republicans have more recently proposed overturning waivers through the Congressional Review Act, which gives Congress power to invalidate rules within 60 days after they are passed. On March 6, the U.S. Government Accountability Office opined that California’s vehicle emissions waivers are not rules and hence immune from that law, affirming its similar 2023 finding.

Nonetheless, Chicago attorney Timothy French advised the Illinois Pollution Control Board during a March 11 hearing that these federal efforts make it more challenging for Illinois to adopt the Advanced Clean Trucks program.

“You have to factor all this in if you’re considering what proponents are asking you to do,” said French, who has represented trade organizations in regulatory proceedings and litigated before the U.S. Supreme Court and federal and state courts.
