On September 29, 2015, Connecticut joined the International Zero-Emission Vehicle Alliance, which aims to accelerate the deployment of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) around the world.
This initiative builds on a previous agreement among eight U.S. states (including Connecticut) to promote ZEVs. In this episode, learn more about which jurisdictions are involved in the new international alliance and how they plan to bring ZEVs to the world stage. We’ll also discuss a new report from the International Council on Clean Transportation, which estimates that there are now 1 million ZEVs on the world’s roads!
