The California Air Resources Board (CARB) is pleased to announce the release of a Request For Information (RFI) for the development of a concept for a Used Truck Voucher Pilot. The primary goal for the Used Truck Voucher Pilot would be to accelerate the development of an affordable secondary vehicle market that would provide small fleets with more flexibility.
For this incentive program concept, the CARB staff would collaborate with Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Dealers, Lenders, ZEV Industry Experts, and All Interested Parties
The RFI and all associated information and documents are available:
Background
As stated in the 2022 State Strategy for the State Implementation Plan (SIP), incentives will continue to be critical in achieving near- and long-term air quality goals in California. The SIP calls for additional incentives for zero-emission trucks.
Senate Bill 372 established the Medium- and Heavy-Duty Zero-Emission Vehicle Fleet Purchasing Assistance Program to make financial and non-financial tools and support available to the operators of medium- and heavy-duty vehicle fleets to enable a switch to ZEVs. In addition, CARB’s suite of clean air regulations requires a competitive, well-functioning market to ensure success. A used truck voucher pilot concept would support these goals.
