Last week, the Environmental Protection Agency released its long-awaited Phase III greenhouse gas (GHG) standards for both heavy-duty (HD) vehicles and medium-duty (MD) vehicles for model years 2027-2032. That’s according to information provided by the RV Industry Association.
The good news: It was announced that heavy-duty motorhomes will continue to be treated as custom chassis vocational vehicles, a previous victory secured by the RV Industry Association’s government affairs team. Having the vocation designation means the standards are easier to meet.
Specifically, heavy-duty motorhomes will be required to meet a standard of 226 grams/ton-mile through model year 2032, a very slight decrease from the current standard of 228 g/ton-mile.
