CalHEAT Near Zero-Emission Heavy Duty Truck Commercialization Final Report

August 2013

The purpose of this project was to address challenges and opportunities of implementing advanced truck technologies through creation and operation of a center devoted to research, planning, demonstration, and commercialization research for efficient medium- and heavy-duty vehicles called CalHEAT – the California Hybrid, Efficient and Advanced Truck Research Center. The research center – CalHEAT – was to be the platform through which CALSTART would coordinate the development and delivery of clear, actionable steps for medium- and heavy-duty trucks to help meet or exceed the 2050 goals for California in petroleum reduction, carbon reduction, and air quality standards, and set a plan for longer term goals.
