will present to the Board the Advanced Clean Cars (ACC) program.
The ACC program combines the control of smog-causing pollutants
and greenhouse gas emissions into a single coordinated package of
requirements for model years 2015 through 2025 and assures the
development of environmentally superior cars that will continue to
deliver the performance, utility, and safety car owners have come to
expect. The Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) regulation (as proposed
for amendment) will act as the technology forcing piece of the ACC
program, pushing manufacturers to produce ZEVs and PHEVs in the 2018
through 2025 model years. In addition, the ACC program also
includes amendments to the Clean Fuels Outlet requirements that will
assure that ultra-clean fuels such as hydrogen are available to meet
vehicle demands brought on by amendments to the ZEV regulation. |
