National Zero-Emission Freight Corridor Strategy

The U.S. Department of Transportation and the U.S. Department of Energy’s Joint Office of Energy and Transportation (Joint Office) published the National Zero-Emission Freight Corridor Strategy to guide the deployment of commercial zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty vehicles (ZE-MHDVs) and associated infrastructure from 2024 to 2040. The National Zero-Emission Freight Corridor Strategy prioritizes infrastructure along the National Highway Freight Network (NHFN) to be implemented through the following four-phases:

• Establishing priority hubs based on freight volume (2024-2027);
• Connecting hubs along freight corridors (2027-2030);
• Expanding corridor connections and initiating network development (2030-2035); and
• Achieving a national network by linking regional corridors (2035-2040).

The strategy is to serve as a guide for public and private deployment of ZE-MHDV infrastructure along the NHFN and connecting corridors. For more information, see the Federal Highway Administration press release and Freight Corridors website.
