2023 market brief shows shift towards zero-emission vehicles as future standard, signaling end of diesel engine era
In the fourth annual State of Sustainable Fleets Market Brief, commercial fleets continue to report a resounding trend — their use of clean fuels and advanced vehicle technologies is rapidly accelerating.
This year’s Market Brief illustrates much more about the future, one where new diesel engine development programs are moving towards sunsetting, and zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) will be the “law of the land” in states representing around half of the U.S. economy. The past 18 months have laid the roadmap for a zero-emission (ZE) future in many states and produced early signals that the era of the diesel engine, the workhorse of HD vehicles, will sunset sooner than many predicted.
Read the full report for insights into the diesel/gasoline, propane, natural gas, battery-electric and fuel-cell electric markets.
