June 2024 – August 2025
This factsheet series is intended to help address some of the most common questions related to zero-emission trucks and the supply-side regulations that can accelerate their deployment. The Center for Law, Energy and the Environment (CLEE) researched and developed these factsheets between 2024 and 2025 to provide a comprehensive overview of the market, technology, and policy considerations driving the critical shift in the transportation sector. The series originally evolved from a 2023 New York Climate Week workshop that CLEE hosted on behalf of California’s then-presidency of the Transport Decarbonisation Alliance.
These factsheets aim to address concerns about zero-emission trucks and place their challenges and benefits into context. They rely on and summarize the existing evidence, case studies, and set of best practices. The primary audience is policymakers and advocates around the world who are looking to meet climate goals by supporting a transition to zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty vehicles through supply-side regulations.

The Blueprint: ‘Zero-Emission Truck Charging Infrastructure and the Grid’
‘Zero-Emission Truck Charging Infrastructure and the Grid’, a whitepaper by Matteo Muratori at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), provided comprehensive reflections and guidance on the 2023 Climate Week Roundtable on “Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure and the Grid.” Muratori served as table expert for our Roundtable on “Accelerating Global Collaboration on Zero Emission Trucks,” and the NREL whitepaper inspired our broader factsheet series.
These factsheets were authored by Jennifer Helfrich, with additional contributions from Lidiya Kassahun, Chloé F. Smith, and Ethan Elkind. We want to thank the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) and CALSTART who reviewed and provided feedback on the factsheets.
