Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Mandates
Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Mandates are regulations set by governments to require a certain percentage of vehicles sold by manufacturers to be zero-emission. This means that the vehicles produce no harmful pollutants or greenhouse gases while operating. The goal is to reduce air pollution and combat climate change by encouraging the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, and other technologies that do not emit emissions. These mandates are often part of broader environmental policies aimed at promoting cleaner air and sustainable transportation.
