Together, these businesses generate over $245 billion in annual revenue, have over $85 billion in assets under management, and employ people in all 50 states. With the incentives from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and their own climate goals, these major companies such as Ikea, Sierra Nevada, and Nestlé have already begun the process of electrifying their fleets. By finalizing this rule and releasing the National Zero-Emission Freight Corridor Strategy, the EPA has supported these businesses ability to choose electric trucks, further promoting manufacturing expansion, investments, and upgrades - creating jobs and boosting the economy in communities across the U.S. We can't backtrack on this market certainty, leaving our global competitors to outpace the U.S. and U.S. companies to lose their global market share. Add your voice, and urge your Senators and member of Congress to support the Heavy-Duty Vehicles Rule and vote against the CRA! https://actionnetwork.org/letters/stand-with-businesses-and-defend-the-heavy-duty-vehicle-rule
