2 Wins for SEMA: A New Era for Technology Choice

President Trump’s action comes on the heels of California's withdrawal of the state’s request to the U.S. EPA for permission to implement its Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) regulation, which mandates that fleets purchase only zero-emissions trucks in the coming years.

Why this matters: These actions are a win for consumer choice and reinforce SEMA’s momentum and rising political power. A focus on rewarding innovation, ingenuity, and practicality in the marketplace means auto enthusiasts, rather than government officials, will be able to choose the vehicles and parts that meet their needs. 

What’s next: California’s withdrawal of ACF and President Trump’s repeal of the federal EV mandate are key steps, but there’s more work to be done to stop California’s Advanced Clean Cars II regulation (ACC II) to phase out internal combustion engines by 2035.

  • SEMA is urging the EPA to submit the waiver that then-President Biden’s EPA provided to California in December for ACC II regulation to Congress, so lawmakers can utilize their Congressional Review Act authority to invalidate the regulation and pull the plug on California’s EV mandates.

SEMA calls on California to immediately cease and desist the implementation and threatened enforcement of the ACF policy.

 

The reality – we’re competing for the attention of lawmakers who are being bombarded with hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of ads.
