The PNWER RIA is working with CALSTART to conduct a study on behalf of the Washington State Legislature through the Joint Transportation Committee (JTC) to research the “Design of Infrastructure and Incentive Program for Medium and Heavy-Duty Zero Emission Vehicles (MHD ZEVs)”. More information on the project is available on PNWER’s website.
