This regulation requires 100% of new medium- and heavy-duty trucks (anything from delivery vans to big rigs) sold in California to be zero emissions by 2036 and 100% of large fleets to be zero emissions by 2045. But it also would require California to give up some of its energy autonomy.

Generating and storing clean energy is a lifeline for the planet’s future; burning coal, oil, and gas fossil fuels causes 75% of greenhouse gas emissions. A fossil fuel energy grid extracts and expends finite resources. Energy from the sun and wind never runs out and is used again and again. Click to learn more!
