Ipinag-utos ni California Governor Gavin Newsom na gawing “zero-emission” ang lahat ng pampublikong sasakyan sa 2035 sa naturang lugar upang malabanan ang climate change.

Ang sektor ng transportasyon umano ang nakapagdudulot ng mahigit kalahati ng carbon pollution sa California.

Pahayag ni Newsom, "For too many decades, we have allowed cars to pollute the air that our children and families breathe.

"Our cars shouldn't make wildfires worse -- and create more days filled with smoky air. Cars

shouldn't melt glaciers or raise sea levels threatening our cherished beaches and coastlines."

Mababasa rin sa nilagdaang Executive Order N-79-20 ni Newsom nitong Miyerkules:

“It shall be a goal of the State that 100 percent of in-state sales of new passenger cars and trucks will be zero-emission by 2035. It shall be a further goal of the State that 100 percent of medium-and heavy-duty vehicles in the State be zero-emission by 2045 for all operations where feasible and by 2035 for drayage trucks. It shall be further a goal of the State to transition to 100 percent zero-emission off-road vehicles and equipment by 2035 where feasible.”
