heavy-duty truck makers over EV push.
(Reuters) -Nebraska Attorney General Michael Hilgers on Tuesday filed an antitrust lawsuit against some of the largest heavy-duty truck manufacturers accusing them of limiting the availability of diesel-powered semi-trucks in a shift to clean electric trucks.
The lawsuit says the truck makers are engaged in "an industry-wide conspiracy" to phase out medium- and heavy-duty internal combustion vehicles, driven by California's green regulations that aim to eventually end the production of such semi-trucks.
The attorney general filed suit in state court against Daimler; Navistar, a unit of Volkswagen's Traton; Paccar; Volvo Group North America; and the Truck and Engine Manufacturers Association.
"Eliminating diesel-powered semi-trucks is practically impossible to accomplish and would impose enormous costs," Hilgers said. "These manufacturers' collusion will raise prices, reduce output, increase costs on Nebraskans, and is a classic antitrust violation."
The lawsuit targets a July 2023 deal reached between the California Air Resources Board, major truck manufacturers, and the Truck and Engine Manufacturers Association that gave the industry flexibility to meet emissions requirements.
