When it comes to policy, Andrew Wrobel, Senior Powertrain Analyst at Escelant (Rhein Associates), highlighted that the California Air Resources Board (CARB) has approved a $2.6 billion investment plan aimed at accelerating the shift toward zero-emission transportation. Most of the funding is directed toward cleaner trucks and buses, signaling a strong push for sustainable freight solutions in the state. Wrobel noted that battery electric truck production is expected to more than triple this year compared to 2022. However, despite this rapid growth, it still represents less than 1% of total truck production, indicating that the transition is still in its early stages within the broader market. Turning to the U.S. economic outlook, Kenny Vieth, President and Senior Analyst at ACT Research, shared insights on recent performance. He mentioned that the U.S. economy grew by 2.9% in Q4 2022, exceeding expectations and bringing full-year growth to 2.1%. This was the first quarter since the pandemic began where all economic sectors contributed positively. While the overall outlook remains stable, Vieth emphasized that a recession is still likely—though mild and short-lived. The timing, however, has shifted: instead of occurring in the first half of 2023, the downturn may be influenced by political tensions around the debt ceiling and concerns over U.S. creditworthiness.
