Emissions reductions continue to disrupt CV industry

As the automotive and commercial vehicle (CV) industries expand from being dominated by a single powertrain to a multitude of power and fuel options, disruption is propelling change to the entire mobility ecosystem. The emissions field continues to see this change as regulations further reduce output levels on a global scale.

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) remains a leading organization of reducing emission levels in the U.S. Based on the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) reports of excessive ozone levels in the state, CARB is seeking to reduce NOx output by 80%. As further recognition of this issue, the Governor of California recently signed Senate Bill 100 to make the state's energy production 60% renewable by 2030 and 100% renewable by 2045.
