Oregon Joins States Across the Country in Adopting the Life-Saving Advanced Clean Cars II Standards increasing electric transportation
All new vehicle sales in the state to be electric battery or plug-in hybrid by 2035 model year
Known as Advanced Clean Cars II, the set of rules builds on regulations in place since 2005 that have laid the groundwork for the increase in automakers providing zero emission vehicles — full battery-electric, plug-in hybrid electric, or fuel cell — to the market. Oregon has been a national leader in zero emission vehicle sales over the past several years.
“With today’s adoption of the ACC II Rule, all those living in Oregon will benefit from the cleaner air and improved public health outcomes achieved by reducing pollution from transportation. This is especially true for low-income and underrepresented communities across the state who live closest to roadways and have been most often impacted by poor air quality,” said Leah Feldon, DEQ’s interim director.
