The Clean Trucks Act of 2023 requires Maryland’s Department of the Environment to adopt California’s Advanced Clean Trucks regulation as part of efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants from transportation, the state’s largest emissions source.
This report projects charging infrastructure needs, evaluates grid impacts through 2035, and charts a pathway to 100% zero-emission sales of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles by 2050, while examining incentives, funding mechanisms, fleet transition strategies, and early adopters positioned to lead deployment. Maryland’s success will require coordinated public and private action to bridge the gap between manufacturer supply requirements and customer adoption—building infrastructure, reducing costs, and demonstrating operational viability in real-world applications.
