CALSTART

14d • $19 - $21

About The Position

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.

This internship offers the opportunity to work within the Global Commercial Vehicle Drive to Zero program, especially on its off-road workstream. 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. 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.
