The California Air Resources Board and CALSTART reopened incentives for clean trucks and buses today with more than $400 million now available to speed California’s move to zero-emission vehicles. This is the biggest funding round in the Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP) to date. Launched by the California Air Resources Board in 2009, HVIP provides for first-come, first-served incentives that reduce the incremental cost of commercial vehicles. The project is administered by CALSTART.
CALSTART is a national non-profit association with offices in New York, Michigan, Colorado and California and partners worldwide. CALSTART works with more than 280 company and agencies to “build a prosperous, efficient and clean high-tech transportation industry. We knock down barriers to modernization and the adoption of clean vehicles.”
