Program Overview
Zero-emission trucks and buses are increasingly available and capable. EDF aims to transition trucks and buses in the U.S. to zero-emission solutions by 2050. The stakes are huge. Though trucks and buses represent fewer than 5% of all vehicles, they account for 28% of climate pollution from road transportation and 57% of the soot from vehicles. The next several years are critical to lock in a pace of transition to achieve our goal. We have opportunities to help leading fleets gain an understanding on how to effectively operate zero-emission trucks and set clear transition plans; put in place national and state-level policies that set long-term standards with a clear timeline for transitioning to zero-emission vehicles; and secure investments to strategically deploy charging infrastructure necessary to support these vehicles and help reduce upfront cost barriers.
Overall Function
The Project Manager, Zero-Emission Truck Deployment will engage with companies and organizations that operate heavy-duty fleets to identify and document best practices for scaling ZEVs, develop plans to transition to ZEVs, and secure commitments to becoming ZEV only fleets. Through this role, the Project Manager will manage relationships with fleet owners, OEMs, service providers and other partners. This person will also contribute to the policy objectives of EDF by identifying fleets interested in supporting key policies and observing where policy fixes are needed to remove barriers fleets face in transitioning to ZEVs. The Project Manager will work within a team of fleet engagement specialists within EDF and report to the Senior Director, Zero-Emission Truck Initiative.
