Notes from the 2023 Sustainable Fleet Technology Conference covering a wide range of practical issues for fleet decarbonization
Given the lack of MY 2024 compliant new engine introductions, California has proposed an amendment to its low NOx omnibus, providing more flexibility for legacy engines.
California and Truck & Engine Manufacturers have reached a deal on low NOx and electrification targets in the state. This paves the way for more regulatory certainty but the challenges ahead are not diminished.
A downloadable summary of the U.S. EPA announced the Phase 3 GHG proposal for heavy-duty vehicles. From 2027 to 2032, 45% reduction in CO2 emissions for light vocational vehicles and 25% for Class 8 sleeper cabs. Over half of light vocational and a quarter of sleeper cabs expected to be ZEVs by 2032.
An updated summary of available hydrogen fuel cell electric trucks and buses, their announced range and hydrogen capacity.
A summary of CARB’s latest Advanced Clean Fleets proposal for heavy-duty truck electrification as discussed in the February 2023 Workshop.
We show that to convert 25% of the long-haul truck fleet in the US to hydrogen fuel cell will require doubling of the total H2 demand and doubling of the renewable electricity generation in the US today.
Here’s an attempt at deconvoluting the cost of ownership of H2-ICE and a comparison with diesel and fuel cell vehicles.
