Senate Bill 1075 (SB 1075) represents a significant legislative effort by California to advance the development and integration of clean hydrogen as a pivotal component in achieving the state’s climate, air quality, and energy objectives. This bill underscores the state’s commitment to fostering a well rounded and full green hydrogen industry, aiming to decarbonize challengingContinued
Range extenders in electric vehicles (EVs) are auxiliary systems that enable extended driving range by supplementing the battery with an additional power source, typically a small internal combustion engine (ICE) or an alternative generator such as a fuel cell. These systems activate when the vehicle’s battery charge reaches a low threshold, generating electricity to rechargeContinued
The EPA recently announced they will be awarding more than $735 million in grants to more than 2,400 zero emission heavy duty vehicles. This widespread funding will span across 70 projects in 27 states, three Tribal Nations, and one territory. The transition to clean energy solutions is a defining challenge of the 21st century, andContinued
As environmental awareness grows and climate concerns rise, regulatory bodies have introduced more stringent measures to curb emissions and advance cleaner energy solutions. One such initiative is the Advanced Clean Fleet (ACF) regulation, which is designed to accelerate the transition to zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) in the commercial fleet sector. This regulation mandates significant changes inContinued
As California continues to lead the nation in progressive environmental policies, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) is expected to introduce the Tier 5 emission standards for off-road equipment in the near future. The move to Tier 5, a significant upgrade from the current Tier 4 standards, reflects the state’s ongoing effort to mitigate airContinued
Evaporative certification compliance is a critical aspect of environmental and safety standards within various industries, particularly those dealing with fuel systems and emissions. This process ensures that products, particularly vehicles and equipment, meet stringent regulations designed to minimize harmful evaporative emissions. These emissions, which include volatile organic compounds (VOCs), can significantly impact air quality andContinued
The Clean Off-Road Equipment Voucher Incentive Project (CORE) will begin accepting heavy-duty voucher applications for the purchase or lease of new zero-emissions off-road equipment beginning on August 13, 2024, at 9 a.m. PT. CORE is committed to providing innovative and sustainable off-road equipment solutions that reduce emissions and support environmental stewardship. CORE has a zero-emissionsContinued
Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) play a critical role in shaping the automotive industry’s impact on the environment. Emission requirements, which are standards set to regulate the pollutants released by vehicles, are a significant focus for OEMs as they design and manufacture their products. These regulations vary globally, with different regions enforcing specific limits on theContinued
As electric vehicles (EVs) continue to gain popularity, one persistent concern among potential buyers is range anxiety—the fear of running out of battery power before reaching a destination or charging station. To address this concern, EV range extenders have emerged as a viable solution, promising to enhance the driving experience and expand the practical usabilityContinued
