The Progress Dashboard is a dynamic tool that will be continuously updated as the policy landscape for ZE-MHDVs continues to grow and develop. More countries and research will be added on the specifics of the various policies and actions implemented. This section provides further resources for the exploration of zero-emission vehicle policy from several sources used to build the Progress Dashboard. As more information becomes available, relevant links and descriptions will be posted here to provide further insight into the developing market and policy action across jurisdictions.
