Deep dives
Electrification of Trucking and the Advanced Clean Fleets Law
The electrification of trucking is significantly influenced by the Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) Law enacted in California, which mandates stricter adoption of zero-emission vehicles for fleets operating in the state. This groundbreaking legislation is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from trucking fleets in California by the equivalent of 90 coal power plants by 2050. It establishes specific percentage targets for fleet electrification that intensify over time, starting from 2025 onwards, thereby pushing various sectors to comply and adapt. As fleet managers prepare for compliance, they recognize the necessity of mastering charging management as a critical aspect of their operations.
