The proposed requirements within the advanced
clean fleet for drayage trucks beginning 1/1/2024 is not
feasible. Requiring
all new vehicles entering the statewide Drayage Truck Registry to
be zero emissions would cripple an already fragile supply
chain. The fueling
infrastructure and battery technology are not yet ready for mass
adoption. I say that
as a Motor Carrier who is currently operating multiple zero
emission Class 8 drayage tractors.
Please consider pushing any initial entry
standard for drayage trucks operating in California out until there
is a sufficient supply of charging or fueling infrastructure to
support the deployment of tens of thousands of zero emissions
drayage vehicles. Thank you.
