Getting more zero- and low-emission vehicles on the road in Pennsylvania helps reduce harmful air pollutants, including nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, particulate matter, and volatile organic compounds. Gasoline and diesel vehicles generate 47 percent of nitrogen oxides emissions in Pennsylvania, contributing to ground-level ozone.

million commercial trucks on California roads, and although they make up just seven percent of vehicles on the road, these trucks are responsible for more than one-quarter of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, more than 60 percent of smog-forming nitrogen oxides (NOx) and more than 55 percent of lung- and heart-harming fine particulate (PM2.5)

and nitrogen oxides (NOx) from the numerous commercial and government fleets of MHD vehicles in the state. Volvo, for example, plans to have a California corridor of high-powered chargers online by the end of 2023. In California, nearly 90 percent of tractor trucks on the road belong to about 15 percent of commercial fleets.

The Basin does not meet the state or federal ambient air quality standards for ozone and particulate matter, and existing regulations have to date proved insufficient to bring the Basin into compliance. The SCAQMD is the local agency responsible for attaining these clean air standards in the Basin. Facility-Based Mobile Source Measures.

But for all other greenhouse gases (which include methane, nitrogen oxides and f-gases) it gave a surprising range, saying that if efforts accelerate rapidly in the next few years, they could continue to be emitted at low and decreasing levels until 2100, long after previous estimates. The IPCC said 1.5
