The platform is expected to begin shipping on select configurations of the Chevrolet and GMC Silverado/Sierra 2500 HD and 3500 HD pickup trucks in the first quarter of 2021, and on Chevrolet and GMC 3500 and 4500 cutaway chassis in the second quarter of 2021.

These plug-in hybrid electric drive systems can improve fuel economy by increasing MPG by up to 50% and reducing CO2 emissions by approximately one-third compared to traditional gas-powered vehicles, XL Fleet says. It is also the company’s first plug-in hybrid system to be available for Chevrolet and GMC fleet vehicles.

According to sustainability-focused non-profit Ceres, the final emissions standards for light- and medium-duty vehicles released by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will significantly reduce transportation-related pollution across the country.

The new EPA standards will encourage an accelerated shift to cleaner cars and trucks starting with model year 2027 and are projected to result in two-thirds of new U.S. vehicle sales being zero-emission by 2032, which Ceres says will deliver significant economic, climate, and public health benefits.
