  • Comment: Most of the sources are either primary or do not mention the subject. There are a few good sources, but the promotional tone is the most blatant issue right now. LittlePuppers (talk) 03:04, 2 January 2024 (UTC)


TypeNonprofit

Calstart is a non-profit organization for zero-emission transportation. It administers governmental programs, the majority funded by the California Air Resources Board and the California Energy Commission,[1] and provides policy analysis to support clean technology and infrastructure acceleration.[2] It is headquartered in Pasadena, California.[3] Candid, an independent charity evaluator, has given Calstart a Platinum Transparency rating.[4][failed verification]

History

[edit]

Calstart was established in response both to the growing contribution to air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions by the transportation sector, and to the decline of jobs in aerospace industry after the end of the Cold War,[5] as part of a plan to create a clean transportation industry in the state.[6][7][8][9] It created a showcase electric vehicle[5] within its first year. It helped develop hybrid and electric powertrains for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles and components, including the first hybrid electric bus[10] and components like differentials[11] or aluminum spaceframes for electric vehicles.[12]

Areas of work

[edit]

Calstart operates in the road and off-road transportation sectors, mainly focusing on zero- and low-emission medium and heavy-duty vehicles and their alternative fuels and charging infrastructures. In the US, it is active in market acceleration programs,[13] technical and market analyses,[14] public policy advisory,[15] and support for its member organizations. Internationally, it runs Drive to Zero,[16] part of Clean Energy Ministerial, and Global Memorandum of Understanding (MOU),[17] co-led with the Netherlands. Both programs focus on decarbonizing commercial vehicles.
