Multistate Coalition Develops an Action Plan for Electrifying Vehicle Fleets

摘要

A coalition of states and a Canadian province is in the final stages of developing an action plan for the complete electrification of trucks and buses. This could spell substantial opportunities for electrical contractors to install and maintain the necessary charging infrastructure for keeping these fleets running.In 2020, 17 states signed the Multi-State Medium- and Heavy-Duty Zero Emission Vehicle Memorandum of Understanding. Since then, the group has welcomed two more signatories. The complete list includes California, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Washington and the province of Quebec.Their effort is facilitated by the Northeast States for Coordinated Air Use Management, a nonprofit association of air quality agencies.
