Last year, a record-breaking 35,000 zero-emission vans, trucks, and buses hit the road.
The transition to zero-emission freight must continue and accelerate. Electric medium and heavy-duty vehicles (MHDVs) produce just a fraction of the lifetime negative health and climate impacts compared to those powered by fossil fuels.
Widescale electrification of zero-emission MHDVs is highly feasible, due to their range, cost and availability of options.
