Nearly 1 in 4 new trucks, buses and vans in California go zero-emission, 2 years ahead of schedule

What you need to know: Zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) made up nearly 23% of new medium- and heavy-duty truck sales in California in 2024 - more than double the state's target and the highest total of ZEV sales ever reported for trucks. Demand remains high with $200 million in incentive funding requests submitted on the very first day applications opened this month.

SACRAMENTO - Governor Gavin Newsom today announced clean truck sales continued to rise in California in 2024, with manufacturers reporting 30,026 zero-emission trucks, buses, and vans sold - representing nearly 23% of all new truck sales.

That figure is more than double the minimum statewide target for the 2024 model year and marks the highest total of sales ever reported. Since 2021, more than 57,000 ZEVs have been sold in California's medium- and heavy-duty market, and statewide ZEV truck sales have now increased for the fourth consecutive year.

"Clean trucks accounted for nearly a quarter of all new truck sales last year in California. We're rapidly replacing dirty diesel big rigs and buses with cleaner alternatives. Sorry, President Trump - the future is here no matter how hard you bend the knee to China and sell out American workers."
