The California Air Resources Board approved a $2.6-billion This year’s investment dollars focus largely on underserved communities, including low-income communities and those disproportionately burdened by environmental pollution, as well as small truck fleets. The 2022 state budget expands these efforts by $6.1

Electric vehicles are pretty much inevitable at this point, with carmakers, led by all-EV disruptors such as Tesla, transitioning their respective fleets to electric. The research team found that while the number of total ZEVs increased over time in California, the rate of adoption was much slower in low-resource areas.

The California Air Resources Board approved a $663-million low-carbon transportation plan to increase the use of clean cars, heavy-duty trucks, buses and freight equipment. While diesel trucks account for only 2% of vehicles in the state, they emit the majority of the smog-forming pollution, and two-thirds of all diesel soot.

But until they do, the number of casualties in crashes is likely to increase as heavy electric vehicles join lighter existing fleets. Heavier vehicles also generate more particulate pollution from tyre wear. Ultimately, to manage climate change, the world needs to stop emitting greenhouse gases from vehicles and power plants.

A new report prepared by the World Bank at the request of the G8 identifies ways that the World Bank can do more through its projects to reduce the emission of short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs): black carbon, methane, tropospheric ozone, and fluorinated gases known as HFCs.

We optimize fleet composition (mix of conventional vehicles (CVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), and battery electric vehicles (BEVs)) and operations to satisfy demand at minimum cost and compare findings across a wide range of present-day and future scenarios for three cities. Air pollution is a classic case where free markets fail.
