What this bill would do

The "Modern, Clean, and Safe Trucks Act of 2025" aims to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The primary purpose of the bill is to repeal the existing 12-percent Federal retail excise tax on heavy trucks, tractors, and trailers. By removing this tax, the bill seeks to reduce the cost of new heavy-duty vehicles. This change is intended to encourage the replacement of older vehicles with newer models that feature advanced safety and environmental technologies. The repeal would apply to sales and installations occurring on or after the date the Act is introduced.
