Nevada Governor signs Multi-State Medium &Heavy-Duty Zero Emission Vehicle MOU to Accelerate Transportation Electrification
committing Nevada to work collaboratively to advance and accelerate the market for electric medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, including large pickup trucks and vans, delivery trucks, box trucks, school and transit buses, and long-haul delivery trucks .led by the Northeast States for Coordinated Air Use Management
“I am proud to sign Nevada onto this agreement to ensure the state is well positioned to respond to regulatory changes at the federal level and to move us closer to meeting our greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals,” Governor Sisolak said. “Shifting toward zero emission vehicles will also help improve air quality for all Nevadans, especially the most vulnerable in historically marginalized areas where the impacts from air pollution are greatest.
Diesel truck and bus emissions contribute heavily to poor air quality that disproportionately harms the health of low-income communities and communities of color that are often located near trucking corridors and distribution hubs. This pollution causes increased risk of premature mortality and higher rates of asthma and other respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.
