I’ve written incessantly about how California intends move to net-zero greenhouse gasses (GHGs) by 2045. One of the most challenging sources of the GHGs are class-8 Semis (a.k.a. big rigs).
This post is about a program and firm that is providing drayage big rigs with electric battery charging infrastructure along their most heavily travelled routes. “Drayage” refers to a form of trucking service that connects the different modes of shipping products.
The California Air Resources Board recently approved rules requiring all of California’s in-state drayage fleet – approximately 33,000 trucks – to be zero-emission by 2035.
Also CARB just formed an alliance with major big rig and big rig engine manufacturers: The Clean Truck Partnership. This is covered in this post.
