The California Air Resources Board (CARB) approved new regulations and voted to ban the sale of diesel big rig trucks by 2036 and require all trucks to be zero-emissions by 2042, the company announced Friday.

The Advanced Clean Fleets rule is added to a list of California’s zero-emissions regulations in an effort to become more environmentally friendly and decrease the state’s high pollution.
