** Shares in European truck makers rise after a media report says U.S. Environmental Protection Agency does not plan to delay heavy-duty engine and vehicle emissions regulations

** Shares in German Daimler Truck DTGGe.DE and Traton 8TRA.DE are up about 3%

** Swedish peer Volvo VOLVb.ST is up 2%

** "Apparently, EPA plans to not delay the heavy-duty engine and vehicle emissions regulation set to go into effect in 2027, although there will be a major change to the rule," Warburg Research analyst Fabio Hoelscher says, adding the news came from Commercial Carrier Journal but not from EPA

** "EPA27 still going in effect means there is clarity for carriers and likely a bit of a pre-buy for trucks in 2026 because vehicles with the new emissions standards from 2027 onwards will be slightly more expensive," the analyst adds

** EPA makes it clear that it does not plan to postpone the 2027 emissions regulation despite massive lobbying efforts by trucking associations, a local trader says
