Trucks
California is changing the world again – this time on greening truck fleets. According to the recently passed Advanced Clean Truck rule, more than half of the trucks sold in California have to be zero emission vehicles by 2035; and by 2045, all new trucks must meet this standard. In 2018 California already set the requirement that all new public transit buses sold must be zero-emission starting in 2029. And even earlier, in the 1990s, it was California’s lower emission regulations that led to breakthrough innovations in passenger electric vehicles, first by Japanese manufacturers and followed by American and German automakers.
