But while greenhouse gas emissions may be reduced, a delivery fulfilled by a diesel-burning truck may lead to increases in emissions of smog-forming nitrogen oxides and lung-damaging particulate matter. Companies like Pepsi have successfully deployed electric tractor trucks carrying payloads up to 82,000 lbs.

These fees generate more than $100 million per year to fund zero emission vehicle (ZEV) incentives, electric vehicle chargers and hydrogen fueling stations through the Air Quality Improvement Program (AQIP), Clean Transportation Program (CTP), and Enhanced Fleet Modernization Program (EFMP).

The Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) rule has the potential to significantly reduce climate-warming greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as well as harmful air pollutants like fine particulates (PM2.5) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) from the numerous commercial and government fleets of MHD vehicles in the state.

This regulation, called the Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) rule, has the potential to deliver significant reductions in both air and climate-warming pollutants by requiring the state’s largest and most profitable commercial and public fleets to transition to electric trucks, vans, and buses over time, beginning in 2024.

These parts have three high-level impacts: Increasing electric truck purchase requirements for large commercial, federal, state, and municipal fleets, beginning as early as 2024 and ramping up to a 100-percent zero-emission fleet requirement in 2042, based on vehicle category. pollution from vehicles.

pollution from vehicles. Among this fleet of trucks and buses, tractor trucks are, by far, the most significant polluters – although just about 1 in 10 medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, they’re responsible for around half of all emissions from the state’s fleet. There are more than 1.8

The EPA is getting ready to finalize a critical regulation limiting emissions of smog-forming nitrogen oxide (NO X ) and soot (or particulate matter, PM 2.5 ) from new heavy-duty trucks. This is the first time EPA has sought to limit emissions in over two decades, and it is long overdue.
