Government, municipal and commercial fleets are adopting low and zero emissions fuels and vehicles in an effort to meet climate goals, state and city regulations, and in some cases lower fuel costs. Hear from the leading low and zero emission fleets on tactics and lessons learned.

As we enter the electric vehicle revolution globally, it has become clear that owning, charging and driving an EV has stark differences from driving an internal combustion engine vehicle. The driver's experience with an EV will rely on software, more than hardware. Learn about how in-vehicle integration, apps and industry partnerships will help pave the way for both consumer adoption and business fleet integration.

With California Governor Gavin Newsom's new executive order calling for no new gas car sales by 2035, infrastructure must be quickly deployed to get ready for an electric car surge. But charger deployments also need to ensure that EVs can tap into clean energy, are available to all, and are smart enough to help manage the grid in various ways.

Corporations around the globe are looking at transportation-related emissions — across Scopes 1, 2 & 3 — and looking at creative ways to reduce them. Hear from leaders that have taken the plunge and made progress.

Trucks, buses and passenger cars are beginning to go electric in regions across the U.S., but we need to kick-start the amount of EVs on the roads and EV infrastructure deployed to meet a more dramatic reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and clean up our air. What do we need to quickly scale the electrification of transportation?

The US will need more than 13 million chargers to support EV drivers by 2030, but today there are just 200,000. How will utilities, companies, policy makers and infrastructure providers help ensure the power grid will be ready for the growth of the electric vehicle market?

Global automakers are pledging to hit holistic environmental goals like 100% zero emissions and becoming carbon neutral. These targets don't only include decarbonizing the vehicle lineups, but also using clean energy for operations, and investing in new carbon-free tools. Learn more about how automakers are setting and planning to reach these goals.

The electric truck and bus market is growing rapidly, with dozens of medium and heavy duty vehicle models available by the end of the year. But it'll still take broad partnerships and collaboration to accelerate the transition of trucks and buses to zero emissions. This session will use CALSTART's Global Drive to Zero program as a framework for looking at how to accelerate the adoption of zero emission commercial vehicles. 

One of the keys to accelerating the adoption of commercial zero emission vehicles is the emergence of new financing models, from all-in leases to climate funding. What new financing tools are companies and financiers adopting that can unlock more rapid scaling of zero emission trucks and buses? 

While the pandemic has thrown a wrench into the aviation sector's decarbonization efforts, the industry is still pushing toward sustainability goals to meet global commitments and support environmental-focused customers. How will the industry build back while prioritizing sustainability?

Oregon utility Portland General Electric has been at the forefront of accelerating electric vehicle adoption for residents and companies. Learn how EVs are being used a grid benefit in PGE's footprint and why utilities need to be more aggressively embracing EVs.

While California is starting to meet its clean energy goals, its emissions from transportation have been rising thanks to a combination of long commutes, sprawling housing development, under funded transit options and a booming trucking industry. But the state is now aggressively tackling transportation emissions across many fronts. Hear how from the clean air chief of California. 

Cities across Europe and China are setting goals to ban fossil fuel vehicles from city centers, and some regions in the U.S. are starting to adopt this trend, too. Learn about the driving forces behind this movement, and how companies are addressing the challenges and leveraging the opportunities of zero emission city zones. 

Consumers, businesses and fleets in the U.S. are beginning to adopt electric vehicles thanks to technical innovation, state and local policies, and a plethora of new EV models. But what will it take to make the transportation revolution happen even faster?  After all, the economy will benefit, the climate is demanding it, and drivers across America are hungry for the fun of an EV ride. We'll dive into what levers the US still needs to pull and what it will take from leadership with Cathy Zoi, the CEO of EVgo and the former Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) at the U.S. Department of Energy.

Cities around the world — from Paris to Seattle to Oakland — have seized on the opportunity of the health crisis to create programs that take back streets from cars for pedestrians and bikes. Hear from city leaders how they implemented these programs and learn about how these mobility solutions could remake cities after COVID.
