The three West Coast states are being aggressive about mapping out plans to electrify trucks. On Thursday, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) will vote on a proposal to transition fleets to electric.
CARB is mulling requirements to make manufacturers produce 9% of Class 8 straight trucks to be zero-emission and 5% of Class 8 tractors to be zero-emission in 2024. By 2030, the possible California mandate will be 30%, up from a previously discussed goal of 15%.
