A new rule will go into effect January 1, 2025 in Oregon aimed at reducing the number of trucks on the road that use gas.

The Advanced Clean Truck rule mandates that manufacturers increase the percentage of zero -emission trucks they sell.

But Rep. Shelly Boshart Davis says she doesn't think Oregon has the infrastructure in place to support electric trucks, and in some cases, the vehicles don't exist.

Long-haul truckers say the charging infrastructure isn't there, and electric trucks can't haul as much.

The American Lung Association says the health benefits of transitioning to zero -emission vehicles market wide are "uniquely significant" The Oregon Farm Bureau stressed that farm equipment is expensive, it's highly specialized.
