  • The Environmental Protection Agency is awarding $144 million in grants to fund 13 projects in California to help the state phase out big rigs that run on diesel.

The article from AP News discusses California's initiative to transition its heavy-duty truck fleet to zero-emission vehicles, supported by a significant federal grant. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has awarded California a $41.5 million grant to help replace older, polluting trucks with electric or hydrogen-powered models. This funding is part of a broader effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality, particularly in heavily trafficked areas like ports and warehouses. The grant will facilitate the replacement of about 50 trucks at the Port of Oakland and 100 trucks at the Port of Long Beach, with additional funds allocated for charging infrastructure. This move aligns with California's ambitious goal to have all medium- and heavy-duty trucks sold in the state be zero-emission by 2040, aiming to combat climate change and reduce the health impacts of diesel pollution.
