Public Workshop to Discuss a Potential Medium and Heavy-Duty Zero-Emission Fleet Regulation
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) invites you to participate in a kickoff workshop for a proposed regulation that would achieve a zero emission truck and bus fleet by 2045 everywhere feasible and significantly earlier for certain market segments such as last mile delivery and drayage applications. The initial focus would be on larger fleets with vehicles that are suitable for early electrification and large entities that hire them. The purpose is to solicit feedback on regulatory concepts to accelerate the number of medium and heavy-duty zero-emission vehicle purchases to achieve a full transition to zero-emission vehicles in California as soon as possible.
The workshop will be held at the following time and place:
DATE: Wednesday, February 12, 2020
TIME: 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. (PST)
LOCATION: South Coast AQMD (SCAQMD) Headquarters
Auditorium
21865 Copley Drive, Diamond Bar, California 91765
This meeting will also be available online for those unable to attend at the SCAQMD website.
Meeting materials will be made available in advance of the workshop meeting on the program website. Please review meeting materials and be prepared to provide feedback at the meeting.
At this meeting, staff will be discussing potential avenues and methods to explore different regulatory frameworks like fleet purchase requirements, ideas such as requiring larger entities to hire fleets that use zero-emission trucks, or establishing zero-emission zones where only fleets with zero-emission trucks could operate. Staff will be seeking feedback on specific truck applications, market segments, and timelines where truck electrification can be achieved. This effort would complement the zero-emission medium and heavy-duty vehicle manufacturer sales requirement as proposed in the Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) regulation.
