🔧🚗 The President's "Freedom to Fix" memorandum could make vehicle repairs more accessible—but it also raises concerns about weakening emissions safeguards as the EPA rolls back environmental protections.

Cleaner transportation could prevent more than 3,600 premature deaths in Montreal & Toronto by reducing ultrafine particle pollution in vehicle exhaust. Because of their small size, they can penetrate deep into the lungs and bloodstream https://t.co/Xh1ee289cR
🚗⚖️ The UK High Court's #Dieselgate 2 ruling found most vehicles met emissions rules, but Mercedes-Benz and Peugeot/Citroën were found to have used unlawful defeat devices. Appeals are being considered, #Emissions#Enforcement#ConsumerProtection.🔗 https://t.co/GppHoyaYiA
Heavy-duty vehicles are just 5% of U.S. traffic but generate a huge share of harmful emissions. Roadside remote sensing identifies the worst emitters in real time, helping reduce NOx, particulate matter, and other pollutants where they matter most. https://t.co/mJpzMp8YCe
Boulder's updated Climate Action Plan aims to cut greenhouse gas emissions 70% below 2018 levels by 2030. The plan calls for faster action and notes that consumption-based emissions are more than double the city's traditional emissions inventory. https://t.co/veOOZzLNqG #climate
Vehicle pollution in San Diego County causes one death daily and contributes to new pediatric asthma cases. The largest source of emissions is medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, particularly near freeways, ports, and freight hubs. https://t.co/HYA8rcDUdr
New research from the International Council on Clean Transportation links vehicle and fuel emissions to serious public health impacts. More Americans also support stronger clean air protections. Cleaner transportation means healthier communities. https://t.co/ZHTlUC3fGy
"NOx (nitrogen oxides) emissions from vehicles form secondary particulate matter, which eventually results in dust. In other words, vehicle emissions also contribute to dust formation." said @amitbhatt4u to @_aastha_ahuja@ndtv

If transport contributes 50% of PM₂.₅, a fully electric fleet could cut city pollution by half. But current policy targets only new registrations, so air quality gains will come gradually as the fleet turns over. Even if no new fossil-fuel vehicles are registered, it could still take 10–15 years for the on-road fleet to become zero-emission. In Delhi, where vehicle sales are growing 7.5% year on year versus the national average of 6.5%, the pace of fleet replacement will determine how quickly PM₂.₅ levels fall.
Air pollution, a major health hazard, can be addressed quickly with decisive action. London reduced roadside nitrogen dioxide to legal limits in nine years, demonstrating the potential for rapid improvement. https://t.co/1g8oljRoQK

🚀 Environmental enforcement is evolving. Powered by NASA Spinoff technology, EDAR enables accurate remote sensing to identify high-emitting vehicles, helping governments make data-driven decisions for cleaner air and smarter environmental policy. #CleanAir#RemoteSensing
‘Through Breathe Cities, local leaders continue to lead the way in cleaning the air. Every step forward helps to save lives, improve public health, and reduce emissions – all while making cities better places to live and work.’ https://t.co/9tOc78cail
🚗 Carbon Tracker found that 17 major automakers underreported real-world vehicle emissions by an average of 33%. Accurate emissions data is essential for consumers, investors, and the environment. https://t.co/wyuWVomTL6
Half of the world’s children are now exposed to at least three overlapping climate threats.
Read that again.
Children are growing up with extreme heat, floods, droughts, wildfires, and storms shaping whether they can get to school, stay healthy, or feel safe in their own communities.
They didn’t create this crisis. But they’re being forced to live with it.
That’s why climate action can’t wait.

The #RCP report "A breath of fresh air" highlights the widespread harm caused by air pollution, including its impact on children & the need for urgent action to meet @WHO air quality guidelines. https://t.co/YFxvHhYXke #VehicleEmissions#UK#EDAR
Hot weather doesn't just affect comfort, it can worsen ground-level ozone & air pollution. Reducing emissions, improving transportation efficiency, & investing in cleaner tech are important steps toward battling a warming climate. #Heatwave#AirQuality https://t.co/8JDbu44a8r
#Krakow’s #LowEmissionZone (LEZ), covering 60% of the city and requiring stricter vehicle standards than other Polish cities, is currently in limbo following the removal of the mayor. https://t.co/ck53d7nhC3 #CleanAir#EDAR#RemoteSensing
The U.S. EPA is asking Congress to review California's vehicle emissions waiver program—a policy that has shaped cleaner transportation standards for decades and often serves as a model for other states. #CleanAir#VehicleEmissions#EPA#AirQuality https://t.co/K2CeqLIEna
