Drive to Zero: Accelerating zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty vehicles
ViewDrive to ZeroTM aims to accelerate the growth of global zero- and near-zero-emission (ZE) commercial vehicle space, with the aim of ZE technology becoming commercially competitive by 2025 and dominant by 2040 in specific vehicle segments and regions.
Drive to Zero is built upon a technology strategy for change called the Beachhead Strategy — a strategy that identifies the commercial vehicle market segments where zero- and near-zero technologies are most likely to succeed and help drive growth in other segments.

With Climate Week NYC and the United Nations General Assembly underway this week, and just over a month remaining until the start of COP26, global attention is increasingly focused on climate change and the narrowing window of opportunity to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
The most recent IPCC Report delivered the starkest warning about climate change, building on increasingly visible impacts ranging from unprecedent heat waves, forest fires, floods and loss of biodiversity. This is the first time an IPCC report expressed more instances of “high confidence” than “medium confidence” impacts, partly because of better science and climate modeling, but partly because the impacts of climate change are already here.
Next week the Clean Energy Ministerial will hold its 12th annual meeting (CEM12)gathering the largest and leading countries, companies and international experts to accelerate clean energy transitions.
Drive to Zero is a program of CALSTART, a clean transportation industry consortium with headquarters in California, offices across North America, and more than 270 member companies and partners worldwide. CALSTART links global partners and provides guidance information, research and technical support. Pledge Partners agree to collaboratively adopt mechanisms to speed the beachhead strategy.
Join a growing number of governments, fleets, manufactures, and infrastructure providers in taking the Drive to Zero Pledge today.
