Background
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has been directed by
the Governor to assess possible regulatory requirements to ensure greater
inclusion of zero emission vehicles in public and private light- and heavy-duty
vehicle fleets. Transforming our transportation system to zero emissions is
necessary to help California meet its unique climate and air quality
challenges. This assessment will consider opportunities in a broad range
of fleet categories such as rental, large employer, delivery and transportation
service fleets. This also includes emerging new mobility technologies and
services such as ride-hailing fleets. There are unique opportunities in fleets
to accelerate the market, including large-scale purchases, increasing the
number of individuals experiencing the technology, and in some cases placing
clean technologies in high mileage fleets. CARB will consider how zero emission technologies can
play a key role in the evolution of the vehicle fleet that is poised to become
fully automated. CARB staff will work with other state agencies,
including CEC, CPUC, CalSTA, DMV, Caltrans, and DGS to implement the Governor’s
directive. In this regulatory effort, CARB invites public participation
to ensure a successful policy design and implementation plan, thereby taking
another step closer to our climate and clean air goals.
