California hit a major environmental milestone, with nearly one in four new medium- and heavy-duty vehicles going zero-emission in 2024. Manufacturers sold 30,026 ZEVs last year, pushing the state's clean transport stride beyond expectations. Unprecedented demand is seeing the state's clean air initiatives shifting into high gear. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) Chair Liane Randolph expressed confidence in the industry's commitment to achieving the state's clean air goals. The West Coast state has also been flexing its renewable energy muscles, reported to run on two-thirds clean energy in 2023, backing up its claim to fame as the world's fourth largest economy leaning into clean energy.
