The California Air Resources Board’s (CARB) High Vehicle Incentive Project (HVIP) is making it easier for fleets to transition to zero-emission vehicles. The program has launched an updated website featuring a comprehensive catalog of medium- and heavy-duty zero-emissions vehicle (ZEV) models available in California. This resource provides fleet owners and operators with easy access to critical information, empowering them to make informed decisions about adopting cleaner transportation solutions.
Launched in 2009, the HVIP offers a wide array of zero-emissions models to meet various fleet needs, including transit buses, school buses, drayage trucks, and small trucking fleet options through the Independent Small Truck Fleet (ISEF) set-aside. The website’s user-friendly interface allows users to navigate the “Vehicles” tab to explore specific vehicle types, view detailed specifications, including class type, battery, model year, and technology, and discover a list of approved dealerships.
“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. [Name Redacted], 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 can also connect with [Name Redacted], 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 [Name Redacted], 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.”
