CALSTART is unveiling its newly created ZET Ahead Dashboard, an innovative and interactive visualization of the progress of 17 states and the District of Columbia toward zero-emission truck and bus market transformation. 

The ZET Ahead Dashboard is designed to keep policymakers, industry stakeholders, and advocates informed about the most impactful state actions and investments, while also providing a simple and coherent framework for action for other states looking to kick-start their transition to zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty vehicles (ZE-MHDVs).

In response to this new tool launching, Alissa Burger, policy director, CALSTART, issued the following statement:

“Our Dashboard offers a snapshot of how leading states are performing with regard to the medium- and heavy-duty zero emission vehicle transition. This compact and compelling visual will help to shape where industry puts its dollars in the form of investments now and moving forward.” 

The ZET Ahead Dashboard is an integral part of CALSTART’s goal to phase out diesel pollution from medium and heavy-duty vehicles across the U.S.

The Dashboard will continue to see new states added over time. And with regular updates, the dashboard will serve as a go-to industry resource for tracking progress and identifying new opportunities in the shift toward zero-emission heavy transportation solutions.
