华盛顿6月2日电（路透社）——两名美国参议员周二提议取消联邦政府对重型卡车征收的12%消费税，称此举将促进新型清洁车型的销售。
共和党参议员托德·杨与民主党参议员安吉拉·阿尔斯布鲁克斯指出，这项税收会让一辆新重型卡车、拖车、半挂车底盘或牵引车的成本增加1.5万至3万美元，还会促使人们继续使用老旧车辆。

目前道路上约五分之一的大型卡车搭载的是2010年之前生产的发动机。
阿尔斯布鲁克斯表示，这项法案旨在支持“打造现代化货运行业，推动行业采用更安全、更省油的新型卡车”。
这项税收每年可筹集逾60亿美元资金，专门用于道路建设与维修。多年来，美国国会一直难以找到新的资金来源用于道路养护。
由于伊朗战争爆发后油价飙升，卡车司机还面临着柴油成本大幅上涨的困境。

WASHINGTON, June 2 (Reuters) – Two U.S. senators on Tuesday proposed ending the 12% federal excise tax on heavy-duty trucks, saying it could boost sales of newer, cleaner models.
Republican Senator Todd Young and Democratic Senator Angela Alsobrooks noted the tax adds $15,000 to $30,000 to the cost of a new heavy truck, trailer, semitrailer chassis or tractor and encourages continued use of older vehicles.

About one-fifth of the largest trucks on the road have engines produced before 2010.
Alsobrooks said the bill supports “a modern trucking industry allowing for the adoption of newer trucks that are safer and more fuel-efficient.”
The tax raises more than $6 billion annually that is dedicated to building and repairing roads. Congress has struggled for years to find new revenue for road repairs.
Truckers are also facing sharply higher diesel costs due to the price spike following the start of the Iran war.
