JOIN OUR SESSION AT THE 2024 FMI SUPPLY CHAIN FORUM

SEPTEMBER 16 - 18, 2024 | NASHVILLE

Don't miss the session 'Navigating The Zero-Emission Mandate: Strategic Procurement For Food Distribution Fleets Amidst CARB And EPA Regulations'!

With CARB's push for zero-emission trucks and the EPA's approval, food distribution organizations using private fleets face critical procurement decisions as California mandates electric trucks to comprise half of all heavy-duty truck sales by 2035. Significant supply chain disruptions and economic challenges are anticipated before 2027 when all new trucks must be zero-emission.

ACT Research predicts the largest truck prebuy ever, starting in 2025 and leading up to 2027, with diesel truck costs increasing significantly.
