Or how about the more simpler solution of changing the emissions regulations so trucks and SUVs have to meet the same targets as all the other vehicles.

And if you really want to encourage things even more they could also remove the tariffs on light trucks while increasing the sales tax on large trucks and SUVs.

I think in the truck culture the damage is already done. At this point we need to deal with the demand to have those kinds of trucks.
