The California Air Resources Board (CARB) will conduct a public hearing on 27 October in Sacramento to consider the proposed Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) regulation. The proposed regulation would set a clear end date for combustion-powered new vehicle sales in California by requiring all new medium- and heavy-duty vehicle sales to be ZEVs starting in 2040.
The estimated number of ZEVs would increase from about 320,000 to about 510,000 in 2035, from about 780,000 to about 1,230,000 ZEVs by 2045, and from about 950,000 to about 1,590,000 ZEVs by 2050, according to CARB’s modeling.
The proposed regulation includes four components: three sets of fleet requirements for State and local government fleets, drayage trucks, and high priority and federal fleets, and a ZEV sales requirement for medium- and heavy-duty truck manufacturers.
