Class 8 Fuel Cell Electric Truck Info Page
Contents
In California, 40% of greenhouse gas emissions are sourced from the transportation sector. Heavy-duty (HD) trucking makes up 21% of these emissions and 26% of statewide emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOx). i Therefore, the State enacted the Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) regulation in March 2021, to drive the adoption of zero-emission Class 8 truck tractors as a percentage of sales in California by 2030.ii
