New big rigs and other trucks will have to be zero-emissions in 2040 — ending their decades-long reliance on high-polluting diesel — under a proposed regulation unveiled by the California Air Resources Board.
Under the proposal, manufacturers couldn’t sell new medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks fueled by diesel or gasoline that operate in California, instead turning to electric models. In addition, large trucking companies would have to gradually convert their existing fleets to zero-emission vehicles, buying more over time until all are zero emissions by 2042.

Back to donkey carts and wagons!
Wait...California strictly enforces it’s borders? What gives!
*SMIRK*
I lived one American town north of Tijuana, MX in the early 80’s. I saw Hispanic people every DAY, swimming up to our ocean shore. In street clothes and shoes. They weren’t surfing, Dude!
This is a Rx for civilizational collapse. I am not joking, these fools are going to cause much pain and death if allowed to proceed.
In the mean time, their Legislature and Governor remind me of the Story of King Canute trying to hold back the tide. “...After failing to hold back the tide, King Canute removed his crown, hung it from a crucifix and never wore it again in honour of Almighty God. Either way King Canute got wet legs. ....” California's leaders will soon find their legs wet, but not with potable water.
KICK THIS STATE OUT OF THE UNION!
America should just boycott California. Anything they’re against, give them full cooperation. In this case, no freight hauled by “fossil fuel”, trucks, trains, cars, kerosene fueled jets, nada. Blockade their ports so there aren’t any oil-burning tankers besmirching their air. They won’t build electrical generation, at least coal, gas, or nuclear, so no power sales from free states either. And don’t buy anything they make either. If their way is better, you’re doing them no harm, and if not, they should have thought of that before copping an attitude.
I was going to say, how about trains? Last I looked, they were ALL diesel powered.
We really need to find a way to make stupid physically painful!
Not just the hunger pangs and poverty this will bring, something much more immediate.
This is impossible to do, they can “Enact” all the stupid they want, but reality is not so easily manipulated.
And use petroleum-based fertilizer.
A lot of food comes out of the state…

Electric semi trucks are coming, and they could help to decarbonize the shipping and logistics industry. However, range remains a major limitation.
This presents challenges for long-hauling, where the average diesel-powered semi can travel up to 2,000 miles before refueling. Compare this to the longest range electric model, the Tesla Semi, which promises up to 500 miles. A key word here is “promises”—the Semi is still in development, and nothing has been proven yet.
In this infographic, we’ve listed all of the upcoming electric semi trucks, complete with range and charge time estimates. Further in the article, we’ll explore the potential commercial use cases of this first generation of trucks.
Model Overview
The following table includes all of the models included in the above infographic.
Company Truck Name Range Charge Time Expected Delivery
🇺🇸 Tesla Semi 300-500 miles TBD 2023
🇺🇸 Freightliner eCascadia 250 miles 80% in as low as 1.5 hrs 2022
🇸🇪 Volvo VNR Electric 275 miles 80% in as low as 1 hr 2022
🇺🇸 Kenworth T680E 150 miles 100% in as low as 3.3 hrs TBD
🇺🇸 Peterbilt 579EV 150 miles 100% in as low as 3.3 hrs 2022
🇨🇳 BYD 8TT 167 miles 100% in as low as 2.5 hrs In operation
🇺🇸 Nikola Tre BEV 350 miles 10% to 80% in as low as 2 hrs 2022
This is a joke….drive two hours and sleep for three
And the wealthy who rule over them.
Everything they are doing appears to be aimed at ending food.
“Unveils” is a favorite media word for Democrat scummery. It’s only “controversial” when Republicans try something.
“ending their decades-long reliance on high-polluting diesel”
Pretty sure that modern diesel engine create less pollutants than gas engines.
This is not going to end well.
Wonder what it’s like to be able to, with the stroke of a pen, destroy livelihoods and industries. Some sick SOBs.
Typical of the Left not having a clue. Slinging sh*t and making someone else clean it up.

Without truckers CA. workers will be FORCED to go Gault, they will have no choice!!
