All new cars, pickup trucks and SUVs sold in New York will be zero-emission by 2035
December 29, 2022
New York State Department of Environmental Conversation (DEC) Commissioner Basil Seggos today announced the adoption of new requirements to reduce climate-altering greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution from the transportation sector. The Advanced Clean Car II regulation mandates that all new passenger cars and trucks sold in New York State must be zero-emissions by 2035. Transport-related pollution. “The adoption of Advanced Clean Cars II is a landmark step for New York that will forever improve the health of disadvantaged communities and transform the use of zero-emission vehicles here in the Empire State and across the country. It helps.” Commissioner Segos said“These requirements combine with New York State's commitment to address climate change and lay a strong foundation to reduce greenhouse gases, reduce harmful pollution, and promote the growth of an environmentally responsible transportation industry,” said Cathy Hochul. It shows the leadership of the governor." The Advanced Clean Cars II rulemaking fulfills New York's ambition to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 85% by 2050 from 1990 levels, as outlined in the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (Climate Act). support initiatives. The regulation will target an ever-increasing proportion of new small vehicle sales to zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs), starting with 35% of his ZEV sales for model year 2026, leading to 100% of his ZEV sales by 2035. need to do it. Advanced Clean Cars II also includes revised pollutant standards for passenger cars, light trucks, and medium-sized vehicles with internal combustion engines for model years 2026 to 2034. The regulation gives manufacturers the flexibility to meet emissions requirements and successfully transition to cleaner vehicles. The adoption of Advanced Clean Cars II is among the recommendations of the Climate Action Council's recently released scoping plan to help achieve the greenhouse gas emissions reductions required by the Climate Act. On December 19th, the New York State Climate Action Council adopted a scoping plan. outlines recommended policies and actions to help meet the goals and requirements of climate law. The plan is the culmination of more than three years of collaboration, including contributions from the Council's advisory committees and working groups, since the climate law was enacted in 2019. Reducing transportation-related emissions in this rulemaking will help many of New York's disadvantaged communities, primarily low-income Black, Indigenous, and people of color, including progress in reducing ozone. , provide significant air quality benefits and are often adjacent to transportation. A route with heavy traffic. Newly adopted regulations will reduce the health and pollution burden affecting these communities. Also announced today, New York State appliance and equipment standards under the Advanced Building Codes, Appliance and Equipment Standards Act of 2022 will be adopted on January 1, 2023 and will set minimum energy and water requirements for residential and commercial products. Consumers who set efficiency requirements and save will pay $264 million annually in utilities by 2035, with $85 million benefiting low- to middle-income households. The standard will limit energy and water consumption to 807,000 tons, saving more than 25 billion gallons of water annually by 2035, helping New York meet its nation-leading emissions reduction goals. while ensuring performance and quality to phase out poor, inefficient and wasteful products. climate law. Doreen M. Harris, NYSERDA President and CEO and Co-Chair of the Climate Action Council, said:“Putting more clean vehicles on our roads will reduce pollution and emissions that contribute to climate change and improve the health of our communities, while reducing the number of vehicles that consumers drive or ride in.” We will increase the choice of types.As we continue to electrify vehicles, we are also the standard for energy-efficient appliances with new standards demanding products with the latest technology and energy-saving features.” New York State Department of Transportation Secretary Marie-Therese Dominguez said:“The Advanced Clean Car II regulation accelerates the transition to zero-emission vehicles and advances New York’s state-led efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Hochul to work with partners to provide greener and cleaner transportation to support electric vehicles and build the infrastructure needed to create a more sustainable transportation network for all New Yorkers. We are advancing the governor's vision." The regulatory actions announced today build on New York's continued efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including the adoption of advanced clean truck regulations. This regulation will increase the number of mid- and heavy-duty ZEV models available as a purchase option for vehicle buyers and fleets. Both the Advanced Clean Trucks and Advanced Clean Cars II rules provide the regulatory certainty needed to support long-term vehicle purchasing decisions and a stable market for ZEV charging infrastructure development. New York is investing over $1 billion in ZEVs across all weight classes over the next five years. Aggressive small car initiatives include rebates for zero-emission vehicle purchases through NYSERDA's Drive Clean Rebate Program, subsidies for zero-emission vehicles and charging infrastructure through DEC's Climate Smart Communities Municipal Grant Program, and "EV Make Ready." will be Initiatives, NYPA's EVolve NY Charging Infrastructure Program and DOT's National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Charging Infrastructure Program, will help expand the use of electric vehicles. In addition to the Advanced Clean Car II regulation, New York has incorporated California's heavy-duty low nitrogen oxides (NOx) omnibus and Phase 2 greenhouse gas standards into another rulemaking. The Heavy Duty Omnibus regulation mandates the sale of new clean vehicles (such as heavy duty trucks) that meet stricter NOx and particulate emissions standards to medium and heavy engine manufacturers beginning with the 2026 engine model year. I'm here. This regulation also includes: Revised testing procedures and longer service life and warranty requirements for applicable medium and heavy duty vehicles compared to current federal requirements. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently finalized new clean air standards for heavy-duty trucks starting with the 2027 model year. If fully implemented, New York's NOx emissions standards for heavy-duty trucks will be stricter than recently announced standards. national standards. DEC implements the rules through emergency rulemaking and makes the rules available for public comment. The Advanced Clean Cars II regulation is open for public comment until March 6th, and a virtual hearing on the measure will be held on his March 1st. The Heavy Duty Omnibus Regulations will be open for public comment until March 6th, and a virtual hearing will be held on February 28th.

New York State's Nationally-Led Climate Change Agenda, the most aggressive climate and clean energy initiative in the nation, will continue to create jobs and promote a green economy as New York State recovers from COVID-19. calls for an orderly and just transition to Pandemic. Carved into law through the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, New York will meet the mandated targets for a zero-emission power sector by 2040, including 70% renewable energy generation by 2030, and contribute to the economy as a whole. We are on the road to achieving carbon neutrality. Statewide, over $35 billion in 120 large renewable and transmission projects, $6.8 billion in building emissions reductions, $1.8 billion in solar scaling and over $1 billion in clean energy. Building on New York's unprecedented investment to boost clean energy, including More than $1.6 billion in transportation initiatives, and NY Green Bank commitments. Together, these investments will create more than 165,000 jobs in New York's clean energy sector in 2021, 2,100% growth in the distributed solar sector since 2011, and 9,000 megawatts of offshore wind by 2035. Underpinning our commitment to develop. Based on this progress, we aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 85% from 1990 levels by 2050, while at the same time penalizing at least 35% of the return on clean energy investments with a target of 40%. The state's 2025 energy efficiency goal is to reduce on-site energy consumption by 185 trillion BTU of end-use energy savings.
