Sacramento Bee-
Gas-powered work trucks — from the delivery vans bringing packages to your doorstep to the big rigs that roar along highways — may soon be fewer in number on California roads.
California’s air pollution agency this week is poised to pass a rule that would require truck manufacturers to cut their production of gas-powered vehicles by more than half over the next 15 years and instead sell battery- and hydrogen-powered machines.
It’s working on another regulation that would go even further, requiring large organizations like corporations and government agencies to mix more electric trucks in their fleets.
