The state of Colorado will delay the implementation of clean-truck policies until the year 2026 in order to focus on better implementation and more pressing supply chain issues, the Governor’s office reports.

The new timeline for clean-trucking rules was announced during an online meeting on Tuesday, February 15th.

CPR News reports that Colorado’s Air Quality Control Commission was scheduled to consider a couple of clean-trucking rules over the next few months. These new rules would force manufactures to increase the sale of zero-emission electric trucks and buses, as well as require diesel trucks to produce less nitrous oxide and were expected to be put into effect in August of 2022.
