Legislators appear to be bidding of the oil and gas industry in an effort to undermine the life-saving Advanced Clean Fleet standard. Their punitive, back-door path to stymy and block this vital tool could jeopardize efforts to save lives in “diesel death zones” across the state.

More than 60 health, labor, business, clean air and environmental justice groups from across the stateare now calling for a stop to this arbitrary attack on the ACF.

LEADING THE CHARGE FOR ELECTRIC TRUCKS

As the transportation sector moves towards a zero-emissions future, fleet operators and municipalities have made significant strides in building out electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. This collection highlights a handful of the many successful medium- and heavy-duty infrastructure projects that have already been deployed across California. The resources below demonstrate the diverse public, private and utility investments for ZEV infrastructure that will support scaled infrastructure deployment.

Why Lowering the Advanced Clean Fleet (ACF) Tractor Fleet Threshold to 10 is Necessary and Feasible

A new white paper from expert advocates finds that reducing the fleet size threshold for tractors to 10 in the high priority portion of the proposed ACF rule will:

• Reduce NOx and PM 2.5 emissions by 16% and GHG emissions by 13% for tractors.2 

• Significantly reduce driver misclassification for fleets from 10-50 by being protected by the “common ownership and control” language in the rule.
