John, your support drives the change we need for a clean, green, electric future.
When it comes to securing a safer climate, we don’t have a second to waste.
The faster we can transition to clean, zero-emission cars, trucks and buses, the faster we can slash harmful climate pollution, protect the health of our communities, create jobs and rebuild our economy.

Heavy-duty trucks and buses produce harmful pollution in communities across the country. Due to systemic inequity, lower-income neighborhoods and communities of color disproportionately suffer the deadly effects of tailpipe pollution because of their proximity to highways, ports and warehouses.
Ensuring all newly-built trucks are electric would mean fewer premature deaths, emergency room visits, heart attacks, and cases of bronchitis and asthma.
The Biden Administration plans to finalize new pollution standards soon for heavy truck model years 2027-2030. A recent EDF study found that electric trucks and buses will be cheaper than diesel alternatives by 2027! And ensuring all newly-built trucks are zero-emitting by 2035 would mean up to $680 billion in pollution-related savings.
That makes rapidly deploying electric trucks and buses a doable, common sense solution. Companies across the country are already embracing zero-emission trucks. EDF is tracking their deployments and commitments, including:
# Walmart is electrifying all long-haul trucks by 2040.
# FedEx is working towards a 100% electric pick-up and delivery fleet by 2040.
# Amazon has ordered more than 100,000 electric delivery trucks.
Cutting climate pollution and improving community health aren't the only benefits of electric trucks and buses. They'll also save truckers — and ultimately, consumers — money while adding well-paying green jobs to our economy.
John, will you donate to EDF’s Summer Match and triple your impact to electrify transportation and fight for tough standards to slash truck pollution? Donate now:

P.S. Strong, protective national standards are key to speeding our transition to clean trucks and buses, but as always, your donation will make an impact in more ways than one. EDF is also working with state governments and private businesses to make progress wherever we can, as fast as we can — because for communities paying the deadly costs of air pollution, every day counts. Please donate now to bring much-needed relief to communities across the country:
