"Biden Administration Unveils National Strategy to Electrify Freight Trucking Routes"
The Biden-Harris Administration has released the National Zero-Emission Freight Corridor Strategy, aiming to accelerate the deployment of zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty vehicle infrastructure from 2024 to 2040. The strategy focuses on public investment, utility and regulatory energy planning, and industry alignment to improve air quality and support the transition to zero-emission transportation. The Federal Highway Administration has designated National EV Freight Corridors along key roadways, in line with the strategy. This initiative aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, support President Biden's climate goals, and attract investment in EV charging infrastructure, with a phased approach to prioritize and accelerate infrastructure deployment.
