We can't wait to see more electric semi-trucks hitting our roads!

The transportation sector is responsible for the most carbon emissions. And medium- and heavy-duty transportation, like semi-trucks, contribute an outsized portion of those toxic emissions.https://t.co/xgdA51neTD

The NC Advanced Clean Truck Rule effort exemplifies how state policies could unlock increased impact from federal #cleanenergy investments. The rule targets pollution from trucks + buses, which generate an outsized share of transportation pollution. [1/2]
