Such vehicles are responsible for 25% of the state's on-road greenhouse gas emissions.
, even though trucks only account for 6% of the total vehicles on state roads, their emissions result in 35% of California's transportation-generated nitrogen oxide emissions and 25% of on-road greenhouse gas emissions.
The board estimates its new initiatives will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 17 million metric tons by 2040, "equivalent to taking 4 million passenger cars off the road." Environmental benefits aside, the transition is expected to create new jobs and support local economies. An analysis of potential demand pegs the number of trucks on California roads at 1.7 million by 2050.
The state is set to invest about $3 billion between 2021 – 2025 in zero-emission trucks and infrastructure. "This rule provides manufacturers, truck owners, and fueling providers the assurance that there will be a market and the demand for zero-emissions vehicles while providing a flexible path to making the transition toward clean air.”
Even though the plan may seem ambitious, there's no doubt that the transition to zero-emission vehicles will accelerate, with other states and countries following California's lead, ultimately leading to a cleaner, more sustainable future.
