State Action Driving to Zero

The ZET Ahead Dashboard

The ZET Ahead Dashboard provides policymakers, industry, and advocates alike with a snapshot of the actions driving success in states committed to a rapid transition to zero-emission trucks (ZETs) and buses.   The ZET Ahead dashboard tracks six market dimensions (targets, regulations, vehicle incentives, infrastructure, innovative policy, and planning) inclusive of subcategories we’re calling success factors, which represent a set of known actions that can be taken to help progress that market dimension. 

Six Market Dimensions

Based on CALSTART’s decades of experience, the top market dimensions for states working to decarbonize their transport sector involve a combination of these important elements: 

Set Targets

For almost all states this is the beginning point. While arguing some planning work could proceed this, setting a clear sense of the goal and outcome desired is critical to set in motion and provide clarity to all other actions. For states one of the most powerful target-setting actions is to sign the State MOU and adopt the goals of the Advanced Clean Trucks program.

Implement Critical Planning

To implement the state’s targets policy makers must have crucial information at their fingers tips, including MHDV populations, segmentation and user types, as well as models of the energy needs of these vehicles geographically and in time as they phase in to use.  Developing a state transportation carbon reduction roadmap can be a strong action that integrates this data into an action plan. 

Institute Supportive Innovative Policies

Spurring wide-spread electrification of transport requires creating a broad and innovative eco-system of policies and investments that encourage and reward zero emission vehicle and infrastructure adoption. This all of government approach should focus on creating benefits for low and zero carbon technologies and fuels, and potentially penalties and costs to high carbon or conventional technologies and fuels. The Low Carbon Fuel Standard is one example of many powerful approaches. 

Establish Vehicle Incentives

While establishing regulations to codify and enforce targets is a critical path item, vehicle purchase incentives are a vital supporting mechanism given the rapid pace of change needed. The most effective incentives are known as vouchers – point of purchase reductions in vehicle cost. There are also other options to provide incentives that can support early market growth.

Prepare and Support Infrastructure

It is crystal clear that you can never start early enough to plan, prepare for and start implementing infrastructure planning, policies and supporting regulation. Installing infrastructure can be a long lead-time item, and the regulation of utilities often requires long regulatory reviews. In advance of need, creating a rate structure that allows utilities to provide “make ready” investments to support fleet charging is vital, as are competitive charging rates and times, managing demand charges and encouraging energy demand planning based on likely vehicle deployment timing.

Establish Regulations

Regulations can come earlier or later in this continuum – we think their development should be on a parallel path with all other factors – but eventually they are needed. States must codify their targets and set enforceable requirements for achieving them. There are a range of options for implementing regulations, with the most impactful being to adopt the Advanced Clean Trucks and Advanced Clean Fleets regulations. Other approaches are also possible and useful.

ZET Ahead Dashboard

The Dashboard currently showcases the 17 states plus the District of Columbia who have demonstrated leadership by signing the Multi-State Medium- and Heavy-Duty Zero-Emission Vehicle Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), committing to make 30 percent of medium- and heavy-duty vehicle sales be zero-emission by 2030 and 100 percent by 2050. Future iterations of the dashboard will include additional states taking action to “ZET Ahead”.  

This dashboard is a part of CALSTART’s broader effort to chart and aggressively pursue a course to move beyond diesel pollution in the commercial vehicle sector throughout the United States.

Planning

Targets

  • Executive Order: Where feasible, 100% zero-emission medium-and heavy-duty vehicles (MHDV) statewide by 2045 and 2035 for drayage trucks, zero-emission off-road vehicles and equipment by 2035, and by 2035, 100% zero-emission in-state sales of new passenger cars and trucks.
  • Multi-State MHD ZEV MOU: Signed the 2021 Multi-State Medium-and Heavy-duty Zero Emission Vehicle Memorandum of Understanding that sets targets for 30% ZEV (zero-emission vehicle) sales for all new medium- and heavy-duty commercial vehicles by 2030 and 100% by 2050.

Vehicle Incentives

  • Grant Program: California has an active medium-and heavy-duty (MHD) voucher program that provides point-of-sale vouchers called Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP).
