ZEV Investment Public Workshop
On December 2, the California Air Resources Board held a public input workshop to discuss The Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Investment Commitment. Bill Elrick attended the meeting and presented a statement that the highest priority for hydrogen and FCEVs is to increase the number of stations in the state at a faster pace. In addition to CaFCP’s comments, other stakeholders highlighted the need for hydrogen investment. ARB is accepting comments electronically until December 16th.
Webinar Q&A: Medium & Heavy-Duty Fuel Cell Electric Truck Action Plan for California - November 8, 2016
The members of the California Fuel Cell Partnership prepared the Medium-Duty and Heavy-Duty Fuel Cell Vehicle Action Plan for California to accelerate the development and commercialization of medium-and heavy-duty FCEVs in California. Federal air quality targets, AB 32 GHG reduction targets, and State’s transport electrification targets, combined with the goals of the California Sustainable Freight Action Plan, make California a favorable place to launch zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty transportation technologies.

CEC & ARB Joint Agency Staff Report on Assembly Bill 8
A new joint report from California Energy Commission and Air Resources Board puts forward findings that represent analyses of data through December 2015 about the progress for hydrogen stations in California. The report concludes that based on expected FCEV market growth and the expiration of AB 8 funding in 2023, the hydrogen fuel market should be in good financial condition to attract the high levels of private capital that will be needed to ensure a steady transition to a self-sustaining hydrogen and FCEV market.
