Truck Stop Truth Sandwich: Serving Electric by 2035 Infographic Report + Reception Climate Week NYC | 9/24 4:30 - 6:30 PM Sponsored by GreenLatinos!

You’re invited to take a bite out of electric truck myths at Climate Week 2024 in NYC! With the industry doing its best to push misinformation about truck electrification, GreenLatinos is using a new messaging strategy to compile an infographic report that serves up the facts - truth sandwiches!

So what’s a truth sandwich? A truth sandwich is a messaging strategy to address misinformation without unintentionally furthering its spread. It entails presenting the truth about a subject, addressing misinformation, and then ending a story by summarizing the reality on the ground (or on the road!).

While big trucks make up just 10% of the vehicles on the road, they account for more than 25% of climate pollution in the transportation sector. Latino/e communities and other communities of color often bear disproportionate impacts of exposure to air pollution. It’s imperative that we make the switch to electric trucks for the sake of our communities, climate, and economic future. The trucking and oil and gas industries are doing their best to push false facts about electric trucking - so GreenLatinos has compiled a truth sandwich fact sheet that will address these myths without spreading them. 

Take a break to recharge at Climate Week and enjoy a truth sandwich infographic report from GreenLatinos - on the casa. Reception to follow, featuring real sandwiches and cocktails!
