Chula Vista joined the push to reach net zero carbon emissions. The city, California Air Resources Board and CALSTART hosted the first ever zero emission truck event Friday. On display was several zero emission vehicles that run on battery and other on hydrogen. While some zero emission trucks are already on the road, the attention to switch to these types of vehicles comes from the change in policy that Governor Newsom signed recently. The policy prohibits large trucks and buses made before 2010 to operate on California roadways starting in 2024. The rule applies to diesel vehicles that weigh at least 14,000 pounds and also aligns with the California Air Resources Board Regulation that aims to achieve a 100% zero emission truck and bus fleet in California by 2045. The new regulations are looking to protect some of the state's most vulnerable communities that sit near trucking corridors and warehouse locations that have some of the worst air in the nation and those areas include southeastern San Diego and South Bay.
