SACRAMENTO –The California Air Resources Board (ARB) will consider amendments to its zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) rules which require manufacturers to offer for sale zero- and near-zero emitting vehicles in California:

Thursday and Friday
March 27 �28

Cal/EPA Headquarters
Central Valley Auditorium
1001 I Street, 2nd Floor
Sacramento, California

The hearing will cover proposed modifications to the rule, which can be reviewed here.

California�s motor vehicle rules are the most progressive in the world, reducing auto emissions by more than 95 percent in the last 30 years. Since its adoption in 1990, the ARB�s ZEV rule has pushed motor vehicle emissions technology toward non-polluting alternatives. Because motor vehicle emissions still account for more than 50 percent of California smog, clean vehicles are a major component in reaching the state�s clean air goals.
