The ZET Ahead Dashboard is CALSTART's new tool that provides policymakers, industry, and advocates alike with a snapshot of the actions driving success in states committed to a rapid transition to zero-emission trucks (ZETs) and buses. The ZET Ahead dashboard tracks six market dimensions (targets, regulations, vehicle incentives, infrastructure, innovative policy, and planning) inclusive of subcategories we’re calling success factors, which represent a set of known actions that can be taken to help progress that market dimension. It is a part of CALSTART’s broader effort to chart and aggressively pursue a course to move beyond diesel #pollution in the #CommercialVehicle sector throughout the United States. So, which states are #ZETTINGAHEAD on #ZeroEmission trucks, buses, and supporting #infrastructure? Find out in CALSTART's new #ZETAhead Dashboard – tracking key actions that are driving success in the transition to zero-emission trucks and buses! https://ow.ly/oVuB50Tvr55

One highlight of our development team’s recent retreat in #KansasCity was the opportunity to have a #MadeinUSA experience at our member Orange EV’s new manufacturing facility & office. We were treated to a ride-and-drive tour led by Jason Drake, VP of Legal and Regulatory Affairs. One impressive fact about #OrangeEV: it became the first U.S. company to build, commercially deploy, and service 100% electric Class 8 Heavy Duty trucks.
