The use of clean vehicles available from
California HVIP will help improve air
quality and accelerate the ZEV market across the state.
PASADENA, Calif., June 26,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The California Air Resources
Board's (CARB) Clean Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive
Project (HVIP) is excited to share what kinds of medium- and
heavy-duty zero-emissions vehicle (ZEV) models are available in the
vehicle catalog.
Launched in 2009 by CARB, and part of the California Climate
Investments, California HVIP offers fleet and independent
owner-operators an array of zero-emissions models for them to
consider purchasing to meet their needs. The project also offers a
wide selection of zero-emissions transit buses, school buses, and
drayage trucks. Small trucking fleet options are available through
the Innovative Small e-Fleet (ISEF) set-aside.
The website makes finding HVIP-eligible vehicles a breeze. To
get started, prospective buyers must navigate to the "Vehicles" tab
at the top of the homepage and then choose the vehicle type of
interest. The web user can see vehicle options for sale in a
particular category alongside specs on each one, including class
type, battery, model year, and technology. A list of approved
dealers well-versed in HVIP can also be found under the "Vehicles"
tab.
"Options for zero-emissions vehicles are growing across various
transportation needs, and the vehicle catalog is the latest example
of the resources that CARB is making available to fleet owners and
operators to make it easier to deploy cleaner technology," said Dr.
Sydney Vergis, Deputy Executive
Officer at the California Air Resources Board. "The updated website
makes key information available in one location, including
incentive eligibility, vehicle specifications, and dealership
availability—making it easier for fleets to be part of the solution
for cleaner air and healthier communities."
Interested buyers are encouraged to connect with Cal Fleet
Advisor, a no-cost advisory service, for fleet technical
assistance.
"The HVIP project is a game-changer in the green transportation
sector, offering a diverse array of vehicles that cater to various
needs while promoting sustainability," said Tor Larson, Vice President of Trucks, Off-Road,
and Marketing, CALSTART. "This initiative not only provides
financial incentives but also drives innovation and accessibility,
ensuring a cleaner, more efficient future for all."
