LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
Newly enacted regulations aim to protect the health and well-being of Californians by improving air quality and mitigating the harm posed by greenhouse gas emissions as well as other air contaminants associated with transportation.
California Advanced Clean Fleet Rule
The Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) Rule was adopted by the California Air Resources Board (GARB) to transition the State's medium and heavy-duty fleet sectors to zero-emission vehicles (ZEV) in support of California's air, climate and transportation goals. GARB unanimously adopted the ACF Rule in April 2023, following a three-year rule development process, and the rule went into effect on October 1, 2023. The ACF Rule requires fleets that are well-suited for electrification to reduce emissions through requirements to phase..:in the use of ZEV for target fleets and requires that manufacturers only manufacture ZEV trucks.
