Mar 9, 2022 9:00 am PT

CALSTART’s Global Commercial Vehicle Drive to Zero program and campaign (Drive to Zero™) will unveil new data tracking the growth of new zero-emission truck and bus model availability in the midst of economic uncertainty, strained supply chains and an evolving transport sector – all brought on by the COVID pandemic. Clean transportation expert CALSTART’s Drive to Zero – supported by manufacturing innovators, Scania and BYD, as well as global fleet DHL – will unveil the new data, forecasting and analysis in an online public briefing. Drive to Zero will also unveil a newly updated version of its Zero-Emission Technology Inventory (ZETI), an interactive online tool that tracks the growth of the zero-emission commercial vehicles globally, as measured by model availability.
