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) These trucks regularly operate along industrial corridors – areas that often flank communities disproportionately impacted by air pollution.

This truck proposal is just more of the same: when considering credits, Option 1 gives away 12 percent of the first step of regulations (2027-2030), causing even further delayed action in an industry that hasn’t seen new tailpipe NO X regulation in over 20 years. Act now—drive emissions reductions a.s.a.p.

Coming off its recent decision requiring all new passenger cars and trucks be zero-emission by 2035, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) is developing a first-of-its-kind regulation to reduce emissions from heavy-duty vehicles like delivery vans, big rigs, box trucks, and buses.

I recently wrote a (very wonky) paper about how giving credits to technology deployment in advance of the beginning of the rule in 2027 could pose a serious problem to the long-term effectiveness on the rule at driving the cleanest technology to market, but it’s worth summarizing here.

They will go into effect in model year 2027 and steadily increase in stringency through model year 2032. Here’s what you need to know: Climate Transportation is the largest source of climate emissions in the US (29 percent) and passenger cars and trucks account for the majority of this pollution. One thing to keep in mind. Far from it.

We could also see up to 623,000 electric trucks on the road in this time period, with zero-emission trucks making up over one third of all new truck sales by 2032, according to our analysis…but that number is highly dependent on manufacturer compliance strategy and complementary policies. And if so, where?
