Diesel motorhome sales are set to be halted in several states at the
start of next year due to a new climate rule from California being
enacted, according to RVtravel.
Motorhome sales are being prevented in California, Washington, Oregon,
New York, Massachusetts and New Jersey if the vehicles do not meet
certain emission requirements based on regulations from the California
Air Resources Board (CARB), according to RVtravel. CARB amended its
Advanced Clean Truck regulations on Oct. 24, which require all vehicles
over 8,500 pounds to produce zero emissions.
Motorhome owners in the six states will not be allowed to register a recreational vehicle (RV) that is not in compliance with the climate regulation, according to RVtravel.
California has enacted various green energy policies in recent years,
including filing a major lawsuit against Chevron and other oil companies seeking climate change damages in September 2023 and enacting a landmark corporate emissions disclosure requirement in October 2023. The state
has seen drastically higher gas prices amid its policies and regulations
aimed at cracking down on fuel refiners. (RELATED: Wealthy Town Running

The Biden-Harris administration has rolled out various electric vehicle
(EV) policies as part of President Joe Biden�s climate agenda, including introducing a strict tailpipe emissions rule in March that would require
about 67% of all light-duty vehicles sold after 2032 to be EVs or
hybrids. The president has been leading a push to build 500,000 public
EV chargers nationwide by 2030, but the initiative has so far been
majorly delayed.
Various American automakers have scaled back EV-related plans amid a
lack of consumer demand. Toyota�s North American Chief Operating Officer
Jack Hollis recently criticized policies promoting EV adoption, citing �impossible� standards.
CARB did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily
Caller News Foundation.
