Background
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and transportation nonprofit CALSTART developed Cal Fleet Advisor to ensure all California businesses can benefit from the zero-emission transition. In April of 2023, CARB approved the Advanced Clean Fleets rule, which puts in place a phased-in transition to accomplish Governor Gavin Newsom’s goal of fully transitioning the trucks that travel across the state to zero-emissions technology by 2045. Under the new rule, some vehicle types where zero-emissions technology is currently available must start the transition by 2024. Other vehicle types have later deadlines, and options to transition a percentage of their fleets to meet required zero-emissions milestones. Cal Fleet Advisor was launched to provide personalized guidance for fleets and single truck owner/operators that may need assistance navigating the transition to zero-emission.
