NEW YORK, Oct. 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- CALSTART, a mission-oriented industry nonprofit organization, announced today the launch of a groundbreaking project to guide investment in commercial medium- and heavy-duty (MHD) zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) infrastructure along I-95, one of the nation's most heavily traveled freight routes. The East Coast Commercial ZEV Corridor project will incorporate input from fleet operators, the charging and fueling industry, utilities and communities to determine the most equitable and efficient path forward to support MHD ZEV deployment.

Key Points: 
  • Funded by a $1.2M grant from the Department of Energy, the two-year initiative will define the locations, contributors, and processes that will result in an unprecedented, advanced technology, zero-emission freight corridor up and down the Eastern seaboard.
  • CALSTART has worked for decades with government, vehicle and infrastructure manufacturers, and fleets to put into place revolutionary clean-air regulations and to create the clean transportation industry necessary to meet them.
  • CALSTART will perform their study with support from Momentum, TETC/I-95 Corridor Coalition, National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), Georgetown Climate Center, and Clean Cities Coalitions from each state along the corridor.
  • This roadmap will inform efforts by states, utilities, and the industry leaders to create a seamless truck charging network across the region."
