California\u2019s Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) rule requires truck manufacturers to sell an increasing percentage of zero-emissions vehicles in the state, starting in 2024. By 2035, at least 55% of Class 2b-3 truck sales, 75% of Class 4-8 truck sales, and 40% of Class 7-8 tractor sales must be zero-emissions. And California is not the only state setting goals for the sale of zero-emissions vehicles; other states and provinces have followed suit.<\/p>\n
