New Jersey is known as the Garden State and environmental officials are looking to keep it that way. Gov. Phil Murphy and other state officials announced a plan that will eventually put the ICE – internal combustion engine – on ice. The Advanced Clean Cars II rule is to be adopted on Dec. 18.
With this rule, New Jersey joins a growing list of states, California, Vermont, New York, Washington, that are requiring vehicle manufacturers to make zero-emission vehicles an increasing percentage of their new light-duty vehicle sales beginning in model year 2027 and ramping up to 100% ZEVs by 2035.
