Emissions from vehicles have been a major contributory factor among others for Global Warming.Studies conducted byUnion of Concerned Scientists, have indicated that among other vehicles leading to pollution and Global warming , heavy-duty trucks contribute one-fifth of the global warming pollution.
"In California, heavy-duty trucks are responsible for one-fifth of the global warming pollution from the transportation sector. Opportunities for significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions from heavy-duty trucks are available and many solutions offer co-benefits of reduced fuel consumption, lower operating costs, and reduced smog-forming emissions."
"The greenhouse gas emissions emitted from heavy-duty trucks, primarily in the form of carbon dioxide, contribute to global warming. If global warming continues unabated, California is expected to face a sharp rise in extreme heat, a less reliable water supply, more dangerous wildfires, and expanding risks to agriculture. "
