The Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) rule, which I’ve blogged about in detail before, will phase out fossil-fueled trucks over the next several decades. A full transition to electric drayage truck operations in 2035. After 2036, all new MHDVs sold in California will be electric. There are more than 1.8 pollution from vehicles.
