Great piece by @colvin on new rates for electric trucks and buses in California - https://t.co/LIHNwwnKZa

[GO-Biz @CAGoBiz]

Great new report by @EDFEnergyEX shows how CA's zero-emission truck and bus supply chain leads the nation - already supporting thousands of jobs and billions of investments toward this growing U.S. market. https://t.co/9aPDAHHpRJ

New analysis shows California is home to the most zero-emission truck, bus companies in the nation https://t.co/8s5d4pGWtD via @EDFEnergyEx

Check out our new article that appeared in GreenBiz this week on a new way to track truck pollution: https://t.co/D0H2p0603B

[Electric Trucks Now @Electric_Trucks]

@AirResources - Lung-damaging diesel pollution and the climate crisis are wreaking havoc on communities across #CA. You must meet this moment and adopt an Advanced Clean Fleet rule that makes new trucks sales 100% pollution-free by 2035. https://t.co/rTvBZi1ege

EDF analysis finds American fleets are embracing electric trucks https://t.co/4S3kAfcetW via @EDFEnergyEx

[Fred Krupp @FredKrupp]

The electric truck/bus supply chain is a strong and growing market. One of many interesting findings from a new study: U.S. today has 375 discrete companies involved, operating in 1k+ business locations in 44 out of 50 states. Almost 336k jobs https://t.co/FCYfB9EoRn

Check out our new analysis on the ZEV truck and bus supply chain in the US - now Congress has to finish the job on passing a climate package https://t.co/WuWLRgtJWe

[Timothy (Tim) O'Connor @TimothyJOConnor]

Excited to see our newest study picked up in RTO Insider: https://t.co/eNOFdNyq7u

Spoiler: Growth of the market for Zero Emissions Trucks and Buses is a HUGE economic opportunity for the country.

@ErinMurphy1 @EnvDefenseFund A great result - congrats to you and the team at EDF for this ruling

Illinois can step up as environmental leader in truck and bus electrification https://t.co/4b42Uld7oq via @EDFEnergyEx

[EDF Energy Transition @EDFEnergyEX]

New @LionElectricCo plant in Jolliet, IL will produce 20,000 electric buses and medium and heavy-duty trucks a year.

The $70 million investment confirms growing demand in US school districts and companies to switch to electric transportation. @TinaBellon https://t.co/UzvEkq2M7y

[Timothy (Tim) O'Connor @TimothyJOConnor]

For you transportation folks - you should read this great report from LBNL - Electric trucks are 13% cheaper to own than diesel trucks, with owners saving up to $200,000 over the life of each truck. Details from @BerkeleyLab @UCBerkeley @UCLA: : https://t.co/fG5AYyk6Ad

[Timothy (Tim) O'Connor @TimothyJOConnor]

Excited to release a years worth of research on the opportunity and needs for electric truck charging - https://t.co/0dU753dGVc

[EDF Energy Transition @EDFEnergyEX]

Eliminating pollution in freight trucks used in urban and community areas by 2035, and eliminating pollution from all new freight trucks and buses by 2040, will have substantial benefits. (THREAD)

[Mark Brownstein @MarkSBrownstein]

Missed one ⁦@bradplumer⁩: ⁦@PeteButtigieg⁩ can direct ⁦@PHMSA_DOT⁩ to require methane leak detection & repair for nation’s gas pipelines, as specified by PHMSA reauthorization embedded in omnibus bill enacted by Congress in December. https://t.co/UJqLB5MdHg
