About the Program
California is both home to the worst air quality in the nation and a leader in environmental policy to reduce emissions, especially from passenger vehicles. The Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) program is a unique effort initiated in 1990. It calls for the production of advanced-technology, zero-emission vehicles and a sales mandate to automakers. This presentation examines the ZEV effort to spur major innovations in clean technology and draws lessons for the future. Lunch is provided for this event.
