New York becomes 2nd state to mandate zero-emission vehicles by 2035

Gov. Kathy Hochul says New York State is aiming for zero-emission vehicles by the year 2035.

She directed the state Department of Environmental Conservation to require all new passenger cars, pickup trucks and SUVs sold in New York State be zero-emission by 2035 on Thursday.

That means all new vehicles purchased in New York will need to be zero-emission models beginning in 2035. To reach that target, 35% will need to be zero-emission by 2026 and 68% by 2030.

All new school buses purchased will have to be zero-emission by 2027, with the entire fleet meeting these standards by 2035.

New York is the second state to mandate zero-emission vehicles by the year 2035. But the state had to wait for California.
