“Until we reduce emissions from the big trucks, we aren’t going to be able to truly clean the air.” Janice Rutherford, South Coast AQMD Board Member sharing why their agency is so excited to be a part of the #VolvoLIGHTS project #batteryelectric #cleantrucks California Climate Investments

It’s not an either / or solve. There is a role for both NZE natural gas trucks and battery electric trucks and buses in our transport sector. We need every tool available to address air quality and climate protection. South Coast AQMD has a strong track record of supporting both.

Sustainable transport is complex. That’s why we’re part of the #VolvoLIGHTS project – which is creating a pioneering range of zero-emission vehicles, charging infrastructure and workforce initiatives. #VNRElectric
