California’s air board is proposing a ban on the sale of big rig, or diesel trucks after 2040. The plan is expected to help meet the state’s climate and clean air goals.
This proposed regulation is similar to the one mandated for cars in California a couple of months ago. Diesel-fueled trucks will eventually be replaced by electric trucks, but one trucking company says there’s still a lot of uncertainty about how this is going to work.
"Well in reality, we all want clean air. We want to reduce pollution, our footprint on the earth but in reality, we still have to move cargo," Aboudi said. "I just got a quote for an electric truck, and it’s basically a half-million dollars gross. So, when I do get the incentives, which is about $270,000 per truck, then I’m still at $270,000 a truck. That’s double what you would pay for a diesel truck," Aboudi said.
