The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals today stayed an EPA rule that would have required truck trailers to be more aerodynamic.
"The EPA Final Rule on review is hereby stayed insofar as it purports to regulate trailers," the court wrote. "Petitioner has satisfied the stringent requirements for a stay pending court review."
The grant of a stay signals that the petitioners could win on the merits.
The Truck Trailer Manufacturers Association challenged the rule soon after it was finalized last year. The case has been held in abeyance at EPA's request, but the rule was set to go into effect on Jan. 1.
The lawsuit was a narrow challenge to EPA's requirement that the trailers used to haul cargo meet new regulations designed to make them lighter and more aerodynamic to reduce their fuel use and emissions.
