T-1B1a-6 - Shift to electric light trucks

TBD

Background

IPCC WG3 definition: TBD.

Electric trucks cause no tailpipe emissions, thereby directly reducing both greenhouse gas emissions and particulate emissions. Electric trucks also produce less noise, helping to improve the general urban environment.Electric trucks cause more emissions in the production phase than internal combustion engine cars, but cause fewer emissions over the lifetime of the car.
