Summary of CARB Work Group Meeting for the Fiscal Year 2020-21 Heavy-Duty Investment Strategy

On January 30, the California Air Resources Board held a work group meeting for the fiscal year 2020-21 heavy-duty investment strategy. The strategy, built upon previous years’ work, will be incorporated into the upcoming FY 2020-21 Air Quality Improvement Program (AQIP) and Low Carbon Transportation Investments Funding Plan. CARB and CEC are coordinating activities to provide a solicitation that is expected to be released towards the end of this year with $20 million available (possibly from each agency) for a large port zero emission drayage truck pilot; which would include both battery electric and fuel cell technologies.
