• Congress imposes a 12 percent federal excise tax (FET) on the retail sale of most new heavy-duty trucks.
• This tax depresses heavy-duty truck sales and delays the purchase of cleaner, safer and more fuel-efficient trucks.
• The FET has been the most inconsistent source of revenue to the highway trust fund (HTF) over the past 20 years.
• Congress should include H.R. 2381/S. 1839 legislation to repeal the FET in comprehensive infrastructure legislation to help modernize America’s truck fleet.

ATD strongly supports H.R. 2381 and S. 1839 and urges YOU to contact your member of Congress and ask them to cosponsor the legislation to repeal the FET.
