America doesn’t run on Dunkin’. It runs on the goods, services and people transported by trucks and buses. In fact, look around you. Everything in your room right now has been on a #truck at some point. Yet while medium- and heavy-duty trucks represent only 10% of vehicles on the road, a January 2024 report from CALSTART shows almost 30% of all transportation-related GHG #emissions, 45% of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions, and more than half of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) emissions. This is both a disproportionate problem, and opportunity. #Electrifying trucks would not only help beat back the worst impacts of #climatechange, but it would take major steps to reduce the harmful health impacts of #pollution. Welcome to the first issue of Breathe Easy, our LinkedIn feature article. Each month we’ll do a deep dive on a topic related to the electrification of this critical part of our nation’s infrastructure. Enjoy, we welcome any feedback or topics you'd like us to cover!

📣 News you can use: The World Resources Institute has released the first Electric School Bus Training Standards, a free tool that will help school bus riders, operators and workers readily #adopt #electric #school #buses. Electrifying school buses has an immediate and direct impact on the health, growth and quality of life of our littlest and most important stakeholders. It’s critical that we accelerate both the demand and supply of #clean, electric #transportation options for children and adults alike. We're grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the reviewing team of 50+ experts in school bus electrification, with input from our team members Jim Castelaz, Robert Teffeteller and Nader Abumuoilish.
