The Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday will announce the agency’s first-ever enforcement action against a trucking company for violating California emissions rules.
These are the “first-ever federal enforcement action for violations of the California Truck and Bus Regulation,” EPA said in an advisory notice ahead of the formal announcement.
EPA’s bust of the company, Estes Express Lines, comes two weeks after it announced it would be ramping up enforcement after a scandal involving the German automaker Volkswagen, in which it admitted that it installed software in its “clean diesel” cars to evade emission regulations.
