WASHINGTON —?The Environmental Protection Agency?on Friday, March 29, set strict emissions standards for heavy-duty trucks, buses and other large vehicles, an action that officials said will help clean up some of the nation’s largest sources of planet-warming greenhouse gases, according to an Associated Press report.

Jason Rano, the vice president of Government Affairs for the RV Industry Association (RVIA), said the new standards will have minimal impact on motorhomes.

“Starting in model year 2027, motorhomes will have to meet an emission standard of 226 grams/ton-mile. Currently they have to meet a standard of 228 grams/ton-mile. Motorhomes are considered ‘vocational custom chassis’ vehicles so EPA didn’t apply Phase 3 standards because of the uniqueness of motorhomes, the limited miles traveled annually by motorhomes, and certain technological considerations including the projected weight of batteries,”Rano told RVBusiness.
