A regulatory framework for electric-powered trucks has begun to emerge, primarily at the state level. In June, California’s Air Resources Board approved the state’s Advanced Clean Trucks regulation, which mandates that 5% of all Classes 7-8 tractors sold be zero-emission vehicles starting in 2024. That percentage increases with each new model year, rising to 40% by 2032. The rule also includes rising zero-emission sales mandates for light-duty commercial vehicles and medium- and heavy-duty straight trucks. California also is one of 15 states, plus the District of Columbia, that has signed an agreement to work together to advance the electric truck market, with a goal of achieving 100% zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty truck sales by 2050.
