The U.S. zero-emission truck (ZET) market continues to evolve, with this update capturing deployment activity — including purchases and leased vehicles — for cargo vans, medium-duty (MD) step vans, MD trucks, heavy-duty (HD) trucks, refuse trucks, and yard tractors as of June 2025.
This paper highlights and explores some of the opportunities and barriers to transportation electrification, with a particular focus on accelerating MHDV electrification in the near term.
This update on the U.S. zero-emission truck (ZET) market presents ZE deployment statistics for cargo vans, medium-duty (MD) step vans, MD trucks, heavy-duty (HD) trucks, refuse trucks, and yard tractors as of June 2024.
This resource is intended to address key questions related to adoption and implementation of California’s Advanced Clean Trucks regulation.
The study leads to insights and recommendations to help utilities, policymakers, and the transportation industry decarbonize fleet vehicles.
Cold weather range loss for electric vehicles is real. However, that has not stopped chilly cities from deploying electric buses and trucks. To counteract cold weather range loss, fleets have taken advantage of technological advances in electric trucks and buses and have employed mitigation and adaptation strategies. This fact sheet discuses on-the-ground success of pre-heating the interior and battery, strategic planning and adaptation, more efficient heating technology, and longer ranges with newer vehicles.
Atlas Public Policy assessed the current and planned production capacity for class 4-8 heavy-duty zero-emission vehicles in the United States based on publicly available information from vehicle manufacturers and news sources. The report discusses manufacturers plans to increase manufacturing capacity for heavy-duty zero-emission vehicles through building new facilities, expanding existing facilities, and the recalibration of production at facilities that are capable of producing both internal combustion and zero-emission vehicles side-by-side.
This study explores the current landscape of school buses in New Jersey, estimates the economic and environmental impacts that come with full school bus electrification, and identifies the most crucial barriers to school bus electrification in the State, identifying specific pathways to address those issues and recommendations to make adoption feasible.
The New York State Electric School Bus Roadmap presents an overview of the key challenges, costs, funding mechanisms, and policy options involved in the effort to transition all school buses in New York State to zero-emission operation by 2035
Policymakers, manufacturers, and end users have experimented with a number of policy tools to promote first clean and now primarily zero-emission vehicle adoption. An expanding number of states and regions have adopted a now well-proven policy tool to efficiently deploy zero-emission commercial vehicles—and now infrastructure—faster using an innovative and flexible point-of-sale incentive: the voucher incentive program (VIP).
