Large commercial trucks and other heavy equipment have run on diesel fuel for many decades now. But today, heavy trucks remain a diesel world. The far higher volumes of carbon dioxide per mile from heavy trucks make them an obvious target for zero-emission powertrains. That’s about to change. Driving style also matters.

The California Air Resources Board has adopted a first-in-the-world rule—the Advanced Clean Trucks ( earlier post )—requiring truck manufacturers to transition from diesel trucks and vans (Class 2b to Class 8) to electric zero-emission trucks beginning in 2024. By 2045, every new truck sold in California will be zero-emission.
