In 2019, CARB testing revealed several small off-road engine (SORE) products did not meet CARB evaporative emission standards. Honda failed these tests demonstrating evaporative emissions of gasoline above the legal limit. Honda also failed to follow Small Off-Road Engine Evaporative Emission Control System Certification Procedures.

The Class 8 BYD 8TT delivered its zero-emission cargo from Port of Oakland to Tracy, CA. Upon its return to Port of Oakland, the truck’s battery still had about 40% State of Charge (SOC)—plenty of reserve for additional operation throughout the remainder of the workday. It then picked up a return load back to the Port.

The Clean Vehicle Assistance Program, run by the Oakland-based nonprofit Beneficial State Foundation, was launched with a $5-million CARB grant. The Cap-and-Trade program also creates a financial incentive for industries to invest in clean technologies and develop innovative ways to reduce pollution.

By transitioning to renewable diesel, we’re significantly reducing the pollution caused by city vehicles that serve the public on a daily basis. An analysis by the California Air Resources Board determined that renewable diesel reduces greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80% compared to petroleum diesel.

Electrifying heavy-duty trucks is essential if we’re to fight climate change and air pollution, but the pace of the transition has been painfully slow—many, many pilots, but few truly large-scale orders.

There’s a big push for zero emission trucks in California right now, in response to California’s new truck regulations. For a zero emission truck, you’ve got basically two choices: batteries, or hydrogen fuel cells. But that’s some ways off.

The project will also reduce greenhouse gas emissions by diverting food waste from landfills that release methane gas directly into the atmosphere. These incentives help to pay the difference between the cost of conventional gasoline- or diesel-powered vehicles and new vehicles that use less-polluting propane or natural gas.

If used in a motorcycle, the resulting powertrain will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated 72% and save 70 gallons of petroleum each year. If used in a light duty passenger vehicle, the powertrain will cut emissions by the same percent as it displaces 575 gallons of petroleum yearly. Electric vehicles components.

Just four months ago, in October, the UN’s IPCC Climate Report gave us, at best, 12 years to take bold and drastic action in cutting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions if we want to limit the level of already baked-in climate catastrophe. US GHG emissions up instead of down . But instead of First Responders we have No Responders.
