Description

Transitioning commercial vehicle fleets to zero emission vehicles will require planning to meet the diverse fleet needs of private companies, non-profit organizations, and governments in a low carbon future. In many cases, light duty vehicles may be easiest to convert first using electrification, but all vehicles must be transitioned off of fossil fuels by 2050. By 2030, 50% of gasoline and diesel vehicles in the region need to be zero emission, so fleet conversion must begin in the next few years.

All businesses must lead this action, and opportunities to support through education programs, industry best practices, and public policies will be examined as part of creating a region-wide EV strategy (Action 2.1.1)
