This week, all eyes are on zero-emission trucks. It’s time for policymakers to go bold.

As leaders from service, tech and federal government meet this week at CERA Week, The Work Truck Show and the ATA Technology and Maintenance Council annual conference, the growing availability of zero-emission trucks will be center stage.The last five years have seen significant development in the schedule of and fleet interest in large, zero-emission automobiles. To accelerate this shift and ensure we are making the most of the health, climate and financial benefits of the EV transformation, we require: Long-term emission requirements for medium- and durable vehicles: To offer market certainty for future financial investments in zero-emission trucks, we require rigorous, long-lasting multi-pollutant emission requirements that achieve 100% sales of new zero-emission trucks and buses. Deployment of charging stations and zero-emission trucks should be focused on in low-income, pollution-burdened communities first, where the air quality advantages of zero-emission innovations are required most.Electric trucks are all set to play an essential function in the countrys transition to a zero-emission future.

As leaders from federal government, business and tech meet this week at CERA Week, The Work Truck Show and the ATA Technology and Maintenance Council yearly meeting, the growing accessibility of zero-emission trucks will be center stage.The last five years have seen significant development in the accessibility of and fleet interest in large, zero-emission cars. Over 170 truck fleets are running or have orders in location for zero-emission trucks, according to EDF analysis. Click To TweetThe smog-forming NOx and great particulate pollution from trucks and buses cause adverse health impacts in utero, in infants and children, and in adults and the elderly– with those who live closest to our nations roadways and highways, ports, circulation centers, freight depots and other sources of truck pollution facing the biggest harm. To accelerate this shift and guarantee we are maximizing the health, environment and financial benefits of the EV transformation, we require: Long-term emission standards for medium- and sturdy cars: To provide market certainty for future investments in zero-emission trucks, we require extensive, long-lasting multi-pollutant emission requirements that achieve 100% sales of brand-new zero-emission trucks and buses. Implementation of charging stations and zero-emission trucks should be prioritized in low-income, pollution-burdened communities initially, where the air quality advantages of zero-emission innovations are required most.Electric trucks are all set to play an essential function in the countrys shift to a zero-emission future.
