The California Air Resources Board voted on a proposal that will ban the sale of fossil fuel-powered vehicles by 2035.
The California Air Resources Board’s Innovative Small e-Fleet will provide $25 million to implement a range of solutions to help small fleets make the transition to zero-emissions.
According to the Diesel Technology Forum, California’s truck and bus fleet rule has effectively kept older, higher-emitting trucks on the road for longer, in turn delaying emissions reductions and cleaner air.
The new California Air Resources Board standard mandates that by 2045, every new truck sold in California will be zero-emission.
New California rules increase the percentage of electric-truck sales targets across all vehicle categories, from ¾-ton pickups to Class 8 trucks, starting in 2024.
A Memorandum of Understanding to form a strategy to accelerate the zero-emission truck market is expected in the summer of 2020.
