I would hope not (just like CNG, it still burns a hydrocarbon to yield CO2).Is LPG considered zero emissions in CA?
No such thing as "Zero Emissions" and removed the goofy sticker from my LEAF. (Not my car pictured).Despite the click-bait title, the actual deadlines are up to 20 years later:
Quoting the article:
"Under guidelines approved Thursday, at least 40 percent of the tractor trailers sold in California would have to be powered by some form of zero-emissions technology by 2024. Medium-duty trucks, such as the Ford F-250 or Chevrolet Silverado HD, would be required to switch over 55 percent of their sales by 2035; and 75 percent of delivery trucks and vans would have to use zero-emissions powertrain technology by 2035 "
and: " mandate zero-emission trucks by 2045, "
As the HOA (home owners association) thread is busy discussing: "what's a van?"
(my Sprinter is (to the state of Washington and US Customs) a passenger vehicle: i.e. a station wagon)

Maybe 10-15 years ago, the local Honda dealership had a Honda Accord, I think, powered by hydrogen in der showroom.Hydrogen will never be a viable transportation fuel.
Zeppelins ... buoyancy and fuel in one (or six) bags....Hydrogen will never be a viable transportation fuel.
Honda is still selling hydrogen powered carsMaybe 10-15 years ago, the local Honda dealership had a Honda Accord, I think, powered by hydrogen in der showroom.
Speaking of hydrogen power, at some point in the future, our Sun will expand to include the orbit of the Earth, resulting in death to anyone left on the planet unless Earth manages to slip away from the Sun first. See this for more information: https://www.sciencealert.com/watch-here-s-how-the-sun-will-eventually-destroy-earthAt some point in the future, a colossal, cataclysmic, global, economic contraction will result in famine and death of biblical proportions.
