Zero-emission vehicles mainly depend on two technologies: battery-electric powertrains and hydrogen fuel cells. The biggest challenge for both technologies would be infrastructure. First, the amount of electricity needed to recharge a fleet of heavy-duty electric trucks would be enormous, but electric...
“Although we’ve had differences in the past, we look forward to advancing #ZEVs together on positive footing,” Randolph wrote on Twitter, referring to zero emission vehicles. Article content CARB, as early as Thursday, is set to adopt new vehicle emissions rules. If adopted, the...
In 1993, the agency granted a waiver for the state's zero emission vehicle standards. It did so again in 2019 for California's first set of greenhouse-gas emissions standards.In 2012, California put in place the Advanced Clean Car standards, which aimed to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases...

California has set a goal of cutting overall emissions to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030. Former California Governor Jerry Brown expressed hope last year that five million zero emission vehicles could hit the road in 12 years.
carriers that have made investments in zero-emission vehicles will be weighing the costs of further investments against the likelihood that CARB will abandon mandatory fleet electrification in any future regulations. Carriers that have not yet made investments will weigh the lik...
Stellantis, one of the largest automakers in the world, agreed Tuesday to comply with California's vehicle emissions standards that are the toughest in the nation and require zero-emission and plug-in hybrid vehicles to make up 68% of new light-duty vehicle sales by 2030. ...
Advanced Clean Fleet regulations require California's public sector to transition to zero-emission vehicles to reduce pollution and improve air quality. Disclaimer: This is an AI-generated summary of a press release distributed by GlobeNewswire. The model used to summarize this release...
Even today, limited series of electric, hydrogen, and other alternative-fuel vehicles sell in the state—and sometimes, only a handful of others—at low volumes, and often at big losses. To enforce compliance, California created a private cap-and-trade market, under its zero-emission-vehicle...
ACF intended to stop the sale of new commercial diesel trucks and buses by 2036. Additionally, CARB is rolling back another requested regulation that would phase out diesel-powered trains older than 23 years. California truck regulations intended to have fleets opt for zero-emission vehicles, aimi...
