Internal Combustion Engine Vehicle Bans 

As of 2024, sixteen states have adopted Zero Emission Vehicles programs (California, Colorado, Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington). Several of these are focused on phasing out the sales of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles by a certain target year. 

This will be a major issue for RV manufacturers, especially those who build motor homes as there is not currently adequate feasible and affordable alternative power technology to replace all internal combustion engine vehicles. It will also affect tow vehicles as the states and the EPA increase the mandate on percentages of electric vehicles that must be produced by the automobile industry. 

The RV Industry Association continues to monitor the states and educate lawmakers on the efforts being made by the RV industry to comply with these bans and explain what is feasible for the industry.
