Comment:
Hello, It is in all of our best interests to make implementation of these new regulations successful. If we fail, it will open the door to another generation of diesels on our roads - and in our lungs. Please consider the following. I think we need to re-define NZEV. As it stands, NZEVs with electric only miles do not exist, and development of the concept trucks will not be profitable or even likely if sales will be limited to public fleets and then ended in 2035. Also, just because a vehicle can be plugged in, doesn't mean it will be. RNG powered trucks eliminate PM emissions now, have negative GHG profiles, and in the case of 0.02 g/b-hp, can reduce NOx significantly, now. In the case of fleets providing a public service critical to the public's health and safety, I think we need a class of exemption for "utility critical response vehicles." The use of "emergency vehicle" is already taken, and could be confusing. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if I can provide any details on the LACSD RNG fleet or critical response vehicles. Thanks! -Diane
