Home to California’s state capital, the Greater Sacramento region is situated at the epicenter of global air quality policy and within the largest U.S. market for electric vehicles. Regional leaders are capitalizing on these strengths to drive innovation and high-quality jobs through the creation of a new engineering center at Sacramento State.
The ZEV Hub at Sacramento State will be a $500 million, zero-emission vehicle innovation center catalyzing the development of clean energy and transportation technologies. The ZEV Hub will revolutionize Sacramento State’s engineering program, creating opportunities for students and industry leaders to co-create next-generation, clean energy technologies.
Join us December 1 to learn more about these plans to supercharge Sacramento State into a global leader in zero-emission vehicle innovation.
