CALSTART

As part of its second annual zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty vehicle display in Washington, D.C., CALSTART, joined by National Climate Advisor Ali Zaidi, congressional leaders on clean transportation, United Steelworkers, and zero-emission vehicle manufacturers (Rivian, Lion Electric, Blue Bird Corporation, & Nikola) celebrated American-made heavy-duty technology on Capitol Hill last week. The event showcased the diverse and market-ready technologies helping to accelerate the transition to cleaner transportation, and highlighted the historic progress bringing clean energy manufacturing investments and jobs back to the United States. The impressive line-up of speakers (see below) included members of the House Sustainable Energy and Environment Coalition, the bicameral Electrification Caucus, and representatives from industry, labor, climate, and health organizations.

Today, the?Bloomberg Global Business Forum returned to NYC as part of Climate Week. CALSTART’s Trisha DelloIacono Mary Jo W. Stephanie Kodish were honored to be in the room with leaders to outline progress that must be made by the public and private sectors to meet our climate goals. As President Biden of the The White Houset told the audience: “It’s a perfect time to go big.” We couldn’t agree more. Now is the time to go big & bold when it comes to decarbonizing our economy. Many thanks to Mike Bloomberg for convening such an impressive group of public policy, business, technology & finance leaders who are—indeed—ready to go big!?And a shout-out to our friends in the audience including Heather McTeer Toney & Robert Bullard.

One highlight of our development team’s recent retreat in #KansasCity was the opportunity to have a #MadeinUSA experience at our member Orange EV’s new manufacturing facility & office. We were treated to a ride-and-drive tour led by Jason Drake, VP of Legal and Regulatory Affairs.?One impressive fact about #OrangeEV: it became the first U.S. company to build, commercially deploy, and service 100% electric Class 8 Heavy Duty trucks. ?

We are excited to announce the launch of our #ZETAheadDashboard, a powerful tool designed to provide policymakers, industry leaders, and advocates with a snapshot of progress in states working toward a zero-emission future in #transportation. This tool tracks critical advancements across six key market dimensions: Targets, #Regulations, Vehicle Incentives, #Infrastructure, Innovative #Policy, and Planning. With the dashboard, you can explore how states are leading the charge, adopting innovative policies, and creating a roadmap for #ZeroEmission transportation! As part of CALSTART's broader effort to move beyond diesel in the #CommercialVehicle sector, the dashboard will continue to evolve, providing updates and insights on how states are progressing toward their goals. Explore the ZET Ahead Dashboard now and see how your state measures up! https://ow.ly/fwcX50TuiY8
