The STEPS team gathered 150 expert stakeholders and presented 2015 research results and progress on 2016 projects. We also hosted sessions on peak oil and global EV demand, sustainable trucking, shared mobility and connected and autonomous vehicles, ZEVs in China vs. California, and transition cost scenarios for the U.S. and California.
