One truck manufacturer has stopped taking orders for new diesel-powered trucks and buses in Oregon and two more are limiting sales there as a result of the state’s implementation of emissions reduction laws mirrored after California’s Advanced Clean Trucks rule.
Daimler Truck North America in late December stopped taking orders for diesel-powered trucks and buses in Oregon — home of its headquarters — Transport Topics has confirmed. The company produces Freightliner and Western Star trucks and Thomas Built Buses.
Rival truck manufacturers Volvo Trucks North America and Mack Trucks, meanwhile, are limiting sales of diesel trucks there in order to comply with the regulations, they told TT. While the two subsidiaries of Sweden’s Volvo Group have not completely halted sales, they noted in separate emails to TT that they had “no choice” but to restrict sales.
Freightliner, Western Star, VTNA and Mack accounted for 126,016 of the 217,872 Class 8 retail truck sales in the U.S. in the first 11 months of 2024, according to Wards Intelligence data.
