T-1B1b-TE-6 - Shift to electric heavy trucks

Background

IPCC WG3 definition: M-1A-12 - Electric Technologies.

Electric vehicles have zero tailpipe emissions. They are also significantly more energy efficient and quiet than fossil-fueled vehicles. The shift to electric trucks reduces greenhouse gas emissions and helps create a better urban environment.
