THURSDAY, JULY 28 AT 5:00PM PACIFIC. California Air Resources Board (CARB) staff invite you to participate in a listening session focused on the topic: Zero-Emission Trucks – How Do We Get There?

The goal of this listening session is to hear experiences, feedback, and/or suggestions for how CARB can further encourage commercial vehicle owners to use cleaner technology such as zero-emission trucks, and better support them in this process. We are seeking input from the people in our State who are impacted by poor air quality and have been advocating for cleaner transportation and from medium- and heavy-duty truck owners, including smaller fleets, who will benefit most from improvements to funding programs and other resources that CARB is developing to support them.

For questions regarding the listening session, zero-emission trucks, upcoming regulations, or funding opportunities, please email [email protected].

El personal de la Junta de Recursos del Aire de California (CARB) lo invita a participar en una sesión de escucha centrada en el tema: Camiones que generen cero emisiones: ¿cómo lo logramos?

El objetivo de esta sesión de escucha es escuchar las experiencias, comentarios y/o sugerencias sobre cómo la CARB puede animar aún más a los propietarios de vehículos comerciales a utilizar tecnologías más limpias, como los camiones de cero emisiones, y apoyarlos mejor en este proceso. Buscamos aportes de las personas de nuestro estado que se ven afectadas por la mala calidad del aire y que han abogado por un transporte más limpio, así como los de los propietarios de camiones medianos y pesados, incluidas las flotas más pequeñas, que serán los más beneficiados por las mejoras en los programas de financiación y otros recursos que la CARB está desarrollando para apoyarlos.

Si tiene preguntas sobre la sesión de escucha, los camiones de cero emisiones, las próximas regulaciones o las oportunidades de financiación, envíe un correo electrónico a [email protected].

FRIDAY, APRIL 29 AT 11:00AM PACIFIC. There are approximately 12 million medium-and heavy-duty vehicles (MHDV) in the United States, representing about 5% of all vehicles on the road and 30% of transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions. There are distinguishable differences between MHDV and light duty vehicles and the same carbon abatement strategies may not apply to both sectors.

The Fuels Institute commissioned Guidehouse Insights to establish a baseline framework for evaluating the emissions contributions of the medium- and heavy-duty transportation sectors and the potential viable solutions that could be applied. In this webinar, we would like to share the results of the report, which specifically sought to demonstrate the diversity and complexity of the medium- and heavy-duty sectors to help accelerate identification of emissions solutions that will yield the greatest benefit at the lowest achievable cost by enabling decision makers to consider the unique applications of each type of vehicle.
