The heavy-duty vehicle sector is at the dawn of a new era-one characterized by an array of zero emission technology. From full battery electric trucks, buses, and other equipment to hydrogen fuel cell trucks that can travel 1,200 miles, what will the future look like? Not to be left behind, ultra-low emission heavy-duty natural gas and propane autogas engines are here today, and many believe we will see diesel engines fight back in the coming years. Local, state, and federal regulators have noticed these advancements and are charging ahead with low-NOx rule-making efforts at the national level and in California. Meanwhile, leading progressive fleets are making big investments in these zero and near zero emission technologies which, when combined with renewable fuels, can provide a heavy-duty vehicle platform that has virtually no emissions. Find out first-hand how the heavy-duty sector is poised to do a 180 and go from the largest source of regional criteria emissions and greenhouse gas emissions to a sector that contributes almost no harmful air emissions. Hear from leading stakeholders on these fast-paced developments in the market so that you understand what is real, what is happening, and when these products will be required and available.
