Comment | I support your advanced truck regulation. Cutting down the pollution for heavy truck and bus vehicles makes sense. Here are some reasons I believe this is necessary. o It is easier to convert fleets of vehicles than it is one at a time.(light duty cars and trucks. o Trucks and buses can have engines replaced economically during the usage cycle. Autos are generally scrapped at end of life. o Trucks and buses represent a significant amount of GHG reduction. o We will not get to the CA goal of Carbon Neutral by 2045 without converting this segment to zero carbon fuel. o Truck traffic tends to travel through disadvantaged areas. Moving trucks and buses to electric means healthier air for this segment of the population. o Truck and bus refueling stations can be placed at optimum locations. This makes large chagrins /fueling stations more economically feasible. o Diesel trucks and buses have Nitrogen dioxide in their exhaust. Asthma comes in part from Nitrogen Dioxide. o We are in the middle of the COVID crises. We see that COVID aggressively attacks people with respiratory diseases. |
