As policymakers consider how to accelerate transportation electrification, a key opportunity lies in strategically focusing incentives and investments where they can deliver the greatest combined benefits for climate, health, and equity.

When evaluating light and heavy-duty electrification pathways, we find:
🚗 eLDV delivers larger total CO2 reductions, providing widespread climate benefits.
🚚 Electrifying 1 HDV yields 23× more NO2 reduction-based economic health benefits than a single LDV
🚗 eLDV delivers larger total CO2 reductions, providing widespread climate benefits.

Key Findings:
🔹 MHDV NO₂ pollution causes 1,330 premature deaths & 1,580 new pediatric asthma cases each year.
🔹 The ACT would convert ~48% of MHDVs to zero-emission by 2050.
🔹 This translates to 500 fewer deaths & 600 fewer asthma cases, with the greatest benefits in overburdened neighborhoods.
