Zero Emission Heavy Duty Trucks: An Analysis of California’s Advanced Clean Fleets Regulation
The Port of Los Angeles, via Mayor Garcetti’s Sustainable City pLAn, has a goal of 100 percent zero-emission on-road drayage trucks by 2035. The Port’s Clean Air Action Plan is a road map to transitioning the truck fleet to zero-emission vehicles. California’s executive order N-79-20 sets a target of 100 percent zero-emission trucks (medium- and heavy-duty) in the state by 2045 and 100 percent zero-emission drayage trucks by 2035. These targets are ambitious and will position California as the national leader in zero-emission goods movement. Yet the response to recent Port requests for proposals for zero-emission vehicles has been considerably below the number needed to begin a prompt transition. In response to discussions with the LABC, the research team proposes a three-part study to quantify the size of the zero-emission truck market, the potential economic benefits and costs of transitioning to zero-emission trucks, and the environmental and health benefits of such a transition.
