The Role of Policies in Reducing Commercial Vehicles’ Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Payne Institute student Jade Glaister writes about how with a great need for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, it is critical to target the sources most contributing to the problem. Commercial vehicles, due to their heavy-duty trucks and longer distances, stand out in transportation as one of the greatest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. This paper analyzes the policies created to reduce the carbon footprint of commercial vehicles as well as investigates the potential for more policies to be developed on the topic. June 16, 2021.
