New blog! EPA Rules & March Madness: Advanced Internal Combustion Engines to Compete with Battery Electric Vehicles, Fuel Cells, and Hybrids The U.S. EPA issued two new major emissions rules for cars and heavy-duty trucks in its own version of March madness, with the combined rules accounting for well over 2,200 pages. Advanced internal combustion engine vehicles are very much still in the game. The rules set the future path for decarbonizing the full range of highway vehicles. They separately cover passenger cars, light trucks, and medium duty vehicles as well as commercial trucks of all shapes and sizes. That includes delivery vans, school buses, dump trucks, refuse haulers, and tractor trailers. There are many common features of the two rules; they both were scaled back from initial proposals in time and expectations for penetration of new technologies like electrification. Both rules lower the levels of allowable emissions from new vehicles; their effective dates are 2027 through 2032, and they are performance based, allowing manufacturers to choose which fuels and technologies to meet the requirements. In each of the two rules the continued, and in some cases dominant, future role for advanced internal combustion vehicles is recognized. Reaction to the rules was swift and with much in common, as both light and heavy-duty manufacturers and their representative associations professed commitments to a zero emissions future while expressed concerns about the pace of the regulations, the uncertainties in establishing a nationwide charging infrastructure, and consumer acceptance of the new technology.

The **Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT)** regulation, as outlined by the California Air Resources Board (CARB), aims to reduce emissions from heavy-duty trucks by requiring manufacturers to increase the sale of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs), starting with the 2024 model year. This regulation primarily targets truck manufacturers (OEMs) who sell more than 500 trucks annually in California. They are required to report their sales and ensure that a growing percentage of their fleet consists of ZEVs or near-zero emission vehicles (NZEVs) over This rule is part of California's broader efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality. It's expected to accelerate the adoption of ZEVs, not just within California but also globally, as many truck manufacturers operate in multiple regions [oai_citation:1,Understanding California’s Advanced Clean Truck Regulation - RMI](https://lnkd.in/gFJxadR6).

Interesting "tech" take on BEV trucks. Lots of questions remain before adoption will begin: 1) Tractor weight compared to ICE tractor 2) Lifetime cost comparison 3) Charging station infrastructure to support projected numbers of BEVs 4) True/accurate range and time-to-charge numbers 5) Cost to charge vs cost to refuel BEVs are coming, but are still a long way out. OEMs, utilities, and regulators must continue to consider an "all of the above" approach to reducing emissions while continuing to move America's freight. https://lnkd.in/dQVBUdAm

The shift to EVs is picking up speed in the commercial sector, especially for local and short-haul freight. While long-haul electric trucks face challenges, city routes are a perfect match for EVs. With their quiet operation, powerful torque, and zero emissions, electric trucks are already changing how goods are delivered. From last-mile delivery vans to Class 4 trucks, these vehicles cut carbon footprints while offering fleets low maintenance and better performance. The road to electrification may be tough, but with ongoing innovation, the future of clean, efficient transport is looking brighter. #EV #commercialvehicles #commercialEV
