New CARB ruling to move all trucks to zero emissions by 2045
By Jim Gibbins - 1st July 2020
USA - Last month saw the California Air Resources Board (CARB) based in Sacramento, California adopt a new rule requiring truck manufacturers to transition from diesel trucks and vans to electric zero-emission trucks beginning in 2024. Under this ruling by 2045, every new truck sold in California will be zero-emission, CARB stated.
This move sets a clean-truck standard for the state and is seen by the state’s administration as its most important air pollution regulation to date.
