and is intended to help assist the City of New York in reaching its lofty goal of a completely electric light- and medium-duty vehicle fleet by 2035 “Thanks to this investment from the Biden Administration, the city is poised to make huge progress on making our fleet more climate friendly,” said Meera Joshi, New York’s Deputy Mayor for Operations. “Our agencies rely on these vehicles to complete vital operations within the five boroughs, and this funding helps us decarbonize some of the hardest vehicles to decarbonize: heavy-duty trucks. From cleaning the streets to getting our air cleaner, the trucks move us in the right direction.
