Study: California must totally retire heavy-duty trucks to meet 2045 carbon goals
Heavy-duty vehicles alone contribute about 8% of the state’s total emissions, generating some 32 million tonnes of carbon annually.
California must retire existing heavy-duty trucks and promote the purchase of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) to meet its 2045 carbon neutrality goals, according to a new study published Monday.
Stricter policies covering both the early retirement of gas-intensive vehicles and the rollout of ZEV trucks could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 64%, according to the study published in Environmental Research: Infrastructure and Sustainability.
