Research: The Transition in Light-Duty Vehicles

The US and MX are currently studying options to support an integrated cross-border economy for zero-emissions vehicles (ZEV). What strategies, from technology and infrastructure to human capital, best serve to support the binational expansion of ZEV in the light-duty, heavy-duty, and electromobility segments of the market? As part of this session, panelists also presented the following policy briefs:

Policy Dialogue: The Transition in Light-Duty Vehicles

What insights are most valuable to stakeholders with respect to the development and deployment of ZEV in both CA and MX? Can university-led research improve both the quality of ZEV technology as well as its accessibility to users?
