Company info

  • CALSTART is a mission-driven industry organization focused on transportation decarbonization and clean air for all.
  • For over 30 years, it's been CALSTART's mission to develop, assess, and implement large-scale, zero-emission transportation solutions to mitigate climate change and support economic growth. CALSTART works with businesses, organizations, governments, and communities to create real-life impact toward clean air and equitable access to clean transportation for all. CALSTART provides scientific, technical and policy support for regulatory development and clean technology and infrastructure acceleration.
  • Intern Project:
  • CALSTART is seeking a highly motivated, experienced, and results-oriented Intern to support our International Team. Drive to Zero accelerates the global growth of Zero-Emission Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles (ZE-MHDVs), with the vision that ZE technology be commercially viable by 2027 and dominant by 2040 across first-success "beachhead" applications and first-mover regions - including Australia, New Zealand, China, India, the Netherlands, Poland, Norway, the United Kingdom, Spain, the United States, Mexico, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Brazil, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Tanzania.
  • The Global MOU sets a worldwide ambition and standard for countries and industry and now counts 43 national signatories and 300+ industry endorsers.
  • This internship offers the opportunity to work within the Global Commercial Vehicle Drive to Zero program, especially on its off-road workstream.
  • This contributes to the broader effort to bring off-road decarbonization to the same level of international coordination already achieved on the on-road side.
  • Update and maintain the full OZETI and ZETI Database, including data collection, verification, cleaning, and organization for technical specifications
  • Cross check CORE, NYTVIP, WAZIP, HVIP and other relevant incentive programs to improve database accuracy and completeness

  • Off-road vehicles and machinery are estimated to contribute 8-10% of total transport sector CO₂ emissions worldwide, a strategic part of the program's work is the Off-road segment - focused on ports, mining, and construction equipment - coordinated through the Global Off-Road Working Group.
  • The leadership and scalability of programs like California's CORE incentive model have shown how a point-of-sale funding approach can offset the cost of zero-emission equipment at scale - offering a proof point that the broader on-road MHDV effort can draw on as it pushes for wider adoption and demonstrating how policy can help accelerate the transition internationally.
  • The intern will support the Working Group's efforts to extend the program's policy architecture, research, and market acceleration approach to ports, mining, and construction equipment - including hands-on work with tools like o-ZETI, the global database for zero-emission off-road equipment, alongside reference models like CORE.
  • Intern Project Key Deliverables:
  • Coordinate with team members to gather input and update endorsers onboarding slides and related materials
  • Research and identify high-potential, high-quality organizations for future endorsers recruitment cycles
  • Support data analysis, internal briefings and presentations related to ZE-MHDVs market development and stakeholder engagement
