S 619 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes certain State goals for sale of zero-emission medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks, and certain off-road vehicles and equipment.

This New Jersey bill establishes state goals for zero-emission vehicle sales: by 2045, all new medium- and heavy-duty trucks (over 8,500 pounds) sold or leased in the state must be zero-emission, and by 2035, all off-road equipment (like construction vehicles) must be zero-emission where feasible. The Department of Environmental Protection must create regulations, report annually on progress, and develop strategies to make zero-emission vehicles accessible to all residents. The bill defines "zero-emission vehicle" as meeting California Air Resources Board standards (excluding partial zero-emission models) and specifies vehicle categories based on weight. It directly affects vehicle manufacturers, dealers, and equipment providers operating in New Jersey.
