The Zero-Emission Truck Initiative aims to accelerate the clean energy transition in the heavy-duty vehicles sector. We do this by securing transformational, durable public policies that will drive the long-term turnover in the vehicle stock; and partnering with fleets to increase near-term truck and bus deployments. We aim to have 100% of new heavy-duty vehicles be zero-polluting by 2040 with an interim target of 30% zero-polluting by 2030.
