Colorado Medium- and Heavy- Duty Vehicle Study

This report summarizes the results of several work streams undertaken to assist the Colorado Energy Office (CEO), Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), and Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) in developing an effective strategy toward a zero emission M/HD vehicle sector by: (1) developing a national and state-level landscape assessment of the M/HD vehicle sector, (2) conducting a Colorado-specific fleet fuel and emissions analysis, (3) collecting perspectives and ideas to further facilitate the transition from stakeholders, (4) identifying and evaluating available policy levers and key implementation considerations that the state should evaluate when developing a detailed M/HD ZEV strategy, and (5) conducting a cost-benefit analysis for highlighted strategic policies to determine the potential benefits to society and impacts on electric utility rates that the state of Colorado could experience.
