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 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. A full transition to electric drayage truck operations in 2035.

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.

The Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) rule would require the largest, most profitable, and most polluting commercial fleets in the state to begin transitioning to electric trucks in 2024, eventually requiring that the state’s largest fleets purchase only 100 percent zero-emissions in 2042. There are more than 1.8 pollution from vehicles.

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.

While the manufacturers are jumping on the market opportunity that heavy-duty electric trucks present, the federal government has no zero-emission sales requirements (for light- or heavy-duty vehicles for that matter) and California’s standards only require 40 percent zero-emissions sales for tractor-trailer trucks by 2035.
