Today, the Biden-Harris administration released a 策略 to build out charging infrastructure at ports and along short, regional and long-haul freight corridors that see the highest volume of freight traffic. The National Zero-Emission Freight Corridor Strategy will help clean up the U.S. 交通系统 by supporting the electrification of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, while reducing air pollution in the communities along major freight routes, according to the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS).
以下是……的声明 唐Anair, the research director for the Clean 运输 Program at UCS.
“This 策略 reflects the federal government’s commitment to cleaning up the U.S. 交通系统. The charging infrastructure deployed through this 策略 will allow electric freight trucks to more quickly replace the most heavily polluting vehicles on our roads.
“Targeting investments to key corridors makes electrification an extremely attractive investment for fleets operating on those routes, building momentum for electric trucks to operate across the country. It’s a foundational step and will provide a strong model for what the highways of the future will look like.
“Together with strong vehicle emissions standards, this plan will help encourage the adoption of electric medium- and heavy-duty vehicles. 我们可以, 而且必须, build the clean 交通系统 of the future, getting people and goods where they need to go in vehicles that do not foul the air or contribute to climate change.”
