								<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
								The role that rental or shared mobility of medium- and heavy-duty zero-emission vehicles can play in exposing customers to medium- and heavy-duty zero-emission vehicle technology and related charging infrastructure and educating them about associated benefits, including lower maintenance and fuel costs.
