MORENO VALLEY, Calif. - The Sierra Club announced a settlement with a major warehouse developer today that will require rapid transitions to electric truck fleets years ahead of state mandates. The agreement, which resolves California Environmental Quality Act claims, represents the strongest clean fleet requirements the Sierra Club has ever achieved in a warehouse settlement.

Under the settlement, the approximately 400,000-square-foot warehouse facility’s entire fleet of heavy-duty trucks, vehicles and delivery vans will have to be 100% electric within a set timeline. The warehouse project—known as Compass Danbe Centerpointe—is slated to be built in a densely populated neighborhood in Moreno Valley, a region that already suffers from some of the worst air quality in the United States.
