Advanced Clean Fleet Rule - Drayage
Message:
The proposed requirements within the advanced
clean fleet for drayage trucks beginning 1/1/2024 is
unworkable.
There is not
enough fueling infrastructure in place to support a mandate
requiring all vehicles entered into the statewide Drayage Truck
Registry to be zero emissions.
If this rule is
adopted, it will no doubt result in thousands of small fleet
operators being forced out of business.
Please consider pushing any initial entry
standard for drayage trucks operating in California out until there
is sufficient supply of charging or fueling infrastructure support
the deployment of tens of thousands of zero emissions drayage
vehicles.
While we support the goald of zero emission for
drayage trucks and look forward to it in the future, the
infrastructre is not available and will not be by the time of
implementation of this rule.
Thank you.
