Jason Mathers is an advocate for clean transportation solutions that improve human health and minimize the impacts of climate change. He directs a global campaign to accelerate the adoption of zero-emission trucks and buses, with a goal of transitioning 30% of all new heavy-duty vehicles in the United States, Europe and China to zero emission by 2030.
