NREL: zero-emissions medium- and heavy-duty vehicles will reach cost-parity with diesel vehicles by 2035

Green Car Congress

Further, assuming economics drive adoption, the study finds that ZEV sales could reach 42% of all MD/HD trucks by 2030, reflecting lower combined vehicle purchase and operating costs (using real-world payback periods). BEVs tend to become cost-competitive for smaller trucks before 2030 and for short-haul (.

MECA report finds additional NOx emission reductions from new heavy-duty trucks achievable and cost-effective (corrected)

Green Car Congress

[In the earlier version of this post, I mistakenly linked to and used the 2019 report rather than the current 2020 report. Source: MECA, “Technology Feasibility for Heavy-Duty Diesel Trucks in Achieving 90% Lower NOx Standards in 2027”. The first system is based on MY 2019 engines in production today. I apologize for the error.
