California air regulators approved banning the sale of traditional combustion trucks that run off diesel by 2036 last week.
The rule must now be approved by President Biden’s U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The move, known as “Advanced Clean Fleets,” puts California on the path toward fully transitioning medium and heavy-duty trucks to zero-emissions by 2045.
From Fox News:
Big rigs, local delivery and government fleets must transition by 2035, garbage trucks and local buses must be zero-emission by 2039 and all other vehicles covered by the rules must be zero-emission by 2042, according to the office of Gov. Gavin Newsom. Companies would be required to disclose their use of big rigs by 2024. This adds to California's Advanced Clean Trucks rule, which was approved by the Biden administration in March. That rule requires manufacturers to accelerate sales of new zero-emissions heavy-duty trucks by 2035.
