CALSTART announced the launch of the Zero-Emission Technology Inventory (ZETI) Data Explorer from its Global Commercial Vehicle Drive to Zero (Drive to ZeroTM) Program and campaign.
The tool makes it possible to better understand, analyze, and potentially accelerate the zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty vehicle market, according to CALSTART's news release.
The ZETI Data Explorer is an interactive tool for fleets, manufacturers, policymakers, nonprofits, and academia that allows users to filter, explore, compare, contrast, and visualize data about zero-emission truck and bus models.
The data comes from Drive to Zero’s Zero-Emission Technology Inventory (ZETI) database, which seeks to establish a shared knowledgebase of all currently available zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty vehicles.
ZETI Data Explorer enables users to view and compare various data points like model availability by region or manufacturer, vehicle availability per manufacturer, range per vehicle type, battery capacity, market trends, and more.
“Zero-emission trucks and buses are working today to put our collective net-zero by 2050 goals within reach, improve air quality, create jobs, and deliver operational benefits to users,” said Dr. Cristiano Façanha, CALSTART’s global director and lead of its Drive to Zero program. “Nations and fleets must not underestimate the depth and breadth of this growing market. Zero-emission vehicles can deliver mail, pick up your recycling, run drayage, deliver goods and people, and much more.”
