Nov 19 (Reuters) - Nebraska Attorney General Michael
Hilgers on Tuesday filed an antitrust lawsuit against some of
the largest heavy-duty truck manufacturers accusing them of
limiting the availability of diesel-powered semi-trucks in a
shift to electric trucks.
    The lawsuit says the truck makers are engaged in "an
industry-wide conspiracy to completely phase out medium and
heavy-duty ICE vehicles" to comply with California's regulations
that aim to essentially eliminate semi-trucks with internal
combustion engines. The attorney general filed suit in state
court against Daimler  DTGGe.DE , Navistar -- a unit of
Volkswagen's Traton  8TRA.DE , Paccar  PCAR.O , Volvo Group
North America  VOLVb.ST , and the Truck and Engine Manufacturers
Association.
