Background:
Achieving California’s long-term air quality, climate, and public health goals will require a transition from the conventional combustion technologies to zero emission everywhere feasible and near-zero emission powered by clean, low-carbon renewable fuels everywhere else. Promoting the development and use of advanced clean trucks will help ARB achieve its emission reduction strategies as outlined in the State Implementation Plan, Sustainable Freight Action Plan, Senate Bill 350, and Assembly Bill 32.
