International Zero-Emission Vehicle Alliance
ZEV alliance strives to make all passenger vehicle sales in the member juristictions (subnational and national governments) as fast as possible and no later than 2050. Long-term climate stabilization will require continued reductions in vehicle emissions. Achieving climate goals requires accelerating ZEV adoption over time; and requires attention to upstream emissions. ZEV alliance works to fully realize the climate change benefits of ZEVs, and want to raise its ambition as ZEV technology and markets advance. They will achieve these goals by various policy methods including: -Provide incentives to encourage the purchase of ZEVs, and use fiscal policy on vehicles to aid environmental objectives -Plan for and invest in growing ZEV infrastructure -Perform public outreach to increase consumer awareness and acceptance -Remove any government barriers to ZEVs. -Implement policies that require the deployment of ZEVs -Lead by example through the inclusion of ZEVs in government and public sector fleets -Deploy ZEVs when possible in medium- and heavy-duty transportation, including public transit -Perform and commission research and development in ZEV technology and social science
