— California regulators have approved a mandate requiring truck manufacturers to sell an increasing percentage of electric vehicles starting in 2024.
— The rule is the first of its kind in the world.
— Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are leery, while startups Tesla and Nikola back the standard.
In a highly anticipated vote, the 12-member California Air Resources Board (CARB) unanimously approved an electric truck mandate that will require medium- and heavy-duty truck manufacturers to sell an increasing percentage of zero emission vehicles in the state starting in 2024.
The Advanced Clean Truck rule, the first of its kind in the world, sets out different sales targets based on the vehicle class. By 2035, about 75% of Class 8 big rigs sold will need to be electric.
