The attention to switch zero emission vehicles comes from the change in policy that Governor Newsom signed recently.
CHULA VISTA, Calif. — Chula Vista joined the push to reach net zero carbon emissions. The city, California Air Resources Board and CALSTART hosted the first ever zero emission truck event Friday. On display was several zero emission vehicles that run on battery and other on hydrogen.
The policy prohibits large trucks and buses made before 2010 to operate on California roadways starting in 2024. The rule applies to diesel vehicles that weigh at least 14,000 pounds and also aligns with the California Air Resources Board Regulation that aims to achieve a 100% zero emission truck and bus fleet in California by 2045.
“The need right now is greatest given where we are in just climate change. I think we see it, we experience it every day on the other hand we also start to figure out that asthma rates and our health outcomes especially in communities of color and poorer communities have been affected by breathing in diesel,” said CALSTAR State Policy Director Orville Thomas.
