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. The number of available electric truck models in the US and Canada has surpassed 180. on routes between 250 and 450 miles.

These fees and programs were established with legislation in 2007 and then were extended until 2024 with the passage of Assembly Bill 8 in 2013 (hence the name, “AB 8 fees”). This change would give California the flexibility to spend the bulk of its clean vehicle funding on the dominant ZEV technology: battery electric vehicles.
