The $144 million in grants from the EPA aims to replace 480 diesel-powered large vehicles with zero-emission alternatives, enhancing California's green transportation initiatives.
Martha Guzman stated that this funding will not only reduce air pollution but also improve health outcomes for communities, contributing toward a significant climate change strategy.
This initiative is part of a larger EPA program, responding to the climate law that includes nearly $400 billion to expedite clean energy growth in the U.S.
Heavy-duty trucks, while only 3% of California’s vehicles, account for over half of the nitrogen oxides and fine-particle diesel pollution, highlighting their environmental impact.
