Drive Forward Truck Forum: Infrastructure Workgroup
The Drive Forward Truck Forum: Infrastructure Workgroup is a new workgroup created to further the Drive Forward initiative. The Drive Forward initiative supports the development of light-, medium- and heavy-duty vehicle programs, incentive programs, outreach and education, and other supportive programs and policies that enable clean vehicle use.
This workgroup is a partnership with state and local agencies, industry, and utilities to support planning and deployment of zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) fleet infrastructure. Working closely with these partners, CARB helps ensure that electric vehicle charging and hydrogen fueling infrastructure expand at the pace needed to meet California’s ZEV deployment targets, as outlined in Governor Newsom’s Executive Order N-79-20. Through these collaborations, CARB addresses challenges related to infrastructure development and operation while supporting solutions tailored to the needs of California’s fleets and drivers.
The Outreach and Infrastructure Workgroups of the Drive Forward Truck Forums will build on the Truck Regulation Implementation Group (TRIG) meetings, which supported actions to reduce emissions. Key themes and panelists from the Border Communities TRIG Workgroup will be incorporated into this workgroup.
Infrastructure Workgroup Objectives
- Work with fleets to overcome challenges in deploying infrastructure
- Create best methods to help fleets engage early and often with electricity and hydrogen providers
- Review available tools to assist with installing infrastructure
- Create opportunities for fleets to engage in multi-agency planning efforts
- Grid reliability/resilience
- Communication with utilities
- Use of available planning tools
Meetings
Date | Description | Materials |
|---|---|---|
| March 9, 2026 | Drive Forward Truck Forum – ZEV Infrastructure Meeting 10 The meeting will be held via Zoom. | |
| December 8, 2025 | Drive Forward Truck Forum – ZEV Infrastructure Meeting 9 The California Air Resources Board (CARB) invites you to join the Drive Forward Truck Forum meeting on zero-emission vehicle infrastructure, focused on how utilities are planning proactive grid upgrades to support future fleet charging. Pacific Gas & Electric, Southern California Edison, and San Diego Gas & Electric will discuss how they forecast new load, identify priority areas for early grid reinforcement, and what information they need from state and local fleets to justify proactive investments. The meeting will be held via Zoom. | |
| August 11, 2025 | Truck Regulation Implementation Group (TRIG) – Infrastructure Meeting 8 The California Air Resources Board (CARB) invites you to attend the Infrastructure TRIG meeting on publicly accessible heavy-duty charging and hydrogen fueling options. Representatives from Pilot, FirstElement Fuels, Shell, Forum Mobility, and other infrastructure providers will discuss stations operating today and those scheduled to open within the next year, including details on access requirements, hours of operation, fueling/charging conditions, fuel pricing, and payment systems. This meeting will be held via Zoom | |
May 12, 2025 | Infrastructure Truck Regulation Implementation Group - Meeting 7 The California Air Resources Board (CARB) invites you to participate in the Infrastructure TRIG meeting to discuss the fundamental elements of fleet charging infrastructure projects, including how to assess site readiness, plan for fleet electrification, and navigate planning, permitting, and utility coordination processes. Presenters from Energetics, CLEAResult, the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz), utilities, and the California Energy Commission will also highlight current transportation electrification support services and funding opportunities for zero-emission vehicle infrastructure for commercial and public fleets. | |
February 10, 2025 | Infrastructure Truck Regulation Implementation Group - Meeting 6 The California Air Resources Board (CARB) invites you to join the Infrastructure TRIG meeting on the role of on-site electricity generation and microgrids in supporting early truck-charging operations. Speakers from CARB, Mainspring, Hyliion, and South Coast AQMD, and will explain how on-site generation is being used as a temporary bridge while fleets wait for utility interconnection, and will review current linear-generator technologies, emissions performance, and their use in near-term electric-truck deployments. | |
November 4, 2024 | Infrastructure Truck Regulation Implementation Group - Meeting 5 The California Air Resources Board (CARB) invites you to participate in the Infrastructure TRIG meeting on hydrogen supply and fueling challenges, Representatives from Tom’s Truck Center, Air Liquide, Pilot Travel Centers, ARCHES, and CARB’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard team will discuss barriers facing fleets interested in fuel-cell trucks and outline the path toward lowering hydrogen costs through expanded production, improved distribution, and the use of state and federal incentives, including hydrogen-hub funding. This meeting will be held via Zoom. | |
September 5, 2024 | Infrastructure Truck Regulation Implementation Group - Meeting 4 The California Air Resources Board (CARB) invites you to join the Infrastructure TRIG meeting on the California Energy Commission’s (CEC) proposed requirements for charger reliability, recordkeeping, and reporting for commercial fleets. CEC staff will outline the obligations created by AB 2061 and AB 126, explain how these rules are expected to apply to fleet charging operations, and discuss potential compliance pathways for operators preparing for large-scale zero-emission truck deployment. | |
June 5, 2024 | Infrastructure Truck Regulation Implementation Group - Meeting 3 The California Air Resources Board (CARB) invites you to attend the third Infrastructure TRIG meeting, which will focus on funding opportunities available to support heavy-duty fleet charging and fueling infrastructure. State agencies and program administrators will outline current grant programs, incentives, and financing tools that fleets can use to plan and build zero-emission infrastructure, and will discuss how these funding mechanisms fit into broader fleet-electrification timelines. | |
March 11, 2024 | Infrastructure and Rule Provision Truck Regulation Implementation Group - Meeting 2 The California Air Resources Board (CARB) invites you to participate in a combined Infrastructure and Rules Provision TRIG meeting focused on the ACF regulation’s infrastructure-delay extension process. Staff will explain how the delay extension works, when fleets may qualify, and how these provisions align with similar requirements proposed under the Zero-Emission Forklift (ZEF) rule. Because both regulations share common infrastructure-readiness challenges, stakeholders from each sector are being brought together to review the criteria, timelines, and documentation expectations associated with requesting an extension. |
