CALSTART’s Zeroing in on Zero-Emission Trucks report is out, and the results are in: after getting off to a slow start in the first half of 2025, zero-emission truck deployment in the US picked up steam in the second half, climbing to 4.14% of all new deployments.
The report highlights a significant surge in zero-emission truck deployment in the latter half of 2025, indicating an accelerated transition within the commercial vehicle sector.
This data provides concrete evidence of increasing adoption rates for electric heavy vehicles, confirming the shift towards sustainable logistics and impacting energy demand and infrastructure planning.
The momentum described changes the perception from a slow start to a rapid acceleration in electric truck adoption, suggesting a more aggressive timeline for market penetration than previously assumed.
