Calstart, a non-profit focused on clean energy and transportation, launched an interactive tool to help fleets better understand and analyze the zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty vehicle market.

The Zero-Emission Technology Inventory (ZETI) Data Explorer allows users to filter, explore, compare, contrast, and visualize data about zero-emission truck and bus models. It enables users to view and compare various data points such as:

  • model availability by region or manufacturer,

  • vehicle availability per manufacturer,

  • range per vehicle type,

  •  battery capacity, and;

  • market trends.

The data comes from Drive to Zero’s ZETI database, which seeks to establish a shared knowledgebase of all currently available zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty vehicles; to date, there are more than 800 distinct models included.

Calstart’s Drive to Zero program updates ZETI Data Explorer regularly.
