Tools and Resources
Major Update to the Off-Road Zero-Emission Technology Inventory Tool
The Zero-Emission Technology Inventory (ZETI) is a resource for exploring commercially available zero-emission off-road equipment worldwide. This interactive database lets users compare specifications, check regional availability, and discover models ready for immediate production. Now the search process is more inclusive than ever with more off-road equipment categories, including construction, cargo-handling equipment, terminal tractors, and transport refrigeration units from prominent manufacturers.
Get the information you need to identify CORE-eligible solutions and make smart purchasing decisions on the journey to alternative off-road equipment.

CORE in the Community – Event Recaps
Artemis Technologies Sea Trial
On April 22, CALSTART CEO John Boesel and CORE team members joined Artemis Technologies in a thrilling sea trial of their EF-12 Hydrofoil Water Taxi. The EF-12 is widely used in Europe for its smoother, quieter ride and energy efficiency. The team sliced through the waves of the San Francisco Bay, easily traversing the wake of larger ships. With several more demonstrations scheduled in Washington state, the CORE team is hopeful that this innovative vessel will soon become available in the U.S.
Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts Powering Tomorrow’s Fleet Event
The CORE team connected with fleet leaders at the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts (LACSD) Power Tomorrow’s Fleet event. With 20% of its fleet already operating as zero-emission, LACSD proves what’s possible when an organization switches to clean technology. Seventeen pieces of their clean equipment were funded through CORE and are actively serving in diverse configurations across multiple sites, demonstrating the versatility of zero-emission solutions. CORE is proud to support fleets driving California’s clean transportation future forward.
SSA Marine ZE Deployment Milestone
CALSTART is pleased to announce that as of May 5, 2025, SSA Marine transitioned to a completely zero-emission cargo-handling fleet at Berth 55. The berth received funding from the CORE project, in partnership with CARB, for 12 new Hyster battery-electric forklifts. Team members were on site to celebrate this milestone with operators who already report quieter, safer working conditions. By making this change, Berth 55 is slated to reduce propane fuel consumption by nearly 44,000 gallons annually, with reduced tailpipe CO2 emissions at approximately 264 metric tons. CORE is honored to have contributed to SSA Marine’s major impact on their community.
USGBC California Green Building Conference
This CORE team travelled to the Fort Mason Center in San Francisco for the 2025 California Green Building Conference. Project administrators attended a clean construction equipment showcase and toured the Salesforce Tower to learn about its innovative water re-use facility. The team was delighted to have the opportunity to connect with industry leaders, policymakers, and innovators who are driving the future of sustainable infrastructure
