Truckers support EPA’s plan to repeal glider kit requirements
A national trucking association sent a letter of support to the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works for the Environmental Protection Agency’s plan to reconsider emission requirements for glider kits.The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, which represents 160,000 members, supports a proposed repeal of the Phase 2 emissions standards for glider kits. The repeal is based on a proposed interpretation of the Clean Air Act under which glider vehicles would be found not to constitute “new motor vehicles,” glider engines would be found not to constitute “new motor vehicles,” and glider kits would not be treated as “incomplete” new motor vehicles.
