The 12-member California Air Resources Board (CARB) unanimously approved an electric truck mandate that will require medium- and heavy-duty truck manufacturers to sell a larger percentage of zero-emission vehicles in California starting in 2024.
The Advanced Clean Truck rule, the first of its kind in the world, establishes different sales targets based on the vehicle class.
By 2035, about 75% of Class 8 big rigs sold will need to be electric. According to CARB, about 8,000 trucks in the Southern California ports will be out of compliance with California emissions regulations by 2022.
