In addition, specific funding has been reserved to support the deployment specific to vehicle types.
- Drayage: $119 million for incentives for zero-emission Class 8 tractors performing drayage operations. The $150,000 base voucher amount per drayage truck for early adopters extends through December 31, 2023.
- Public Transit: $58 million for zero-emission public transit bus incentives. Requests for public transit buses will automatically be funded via the set-aside with no separate request process.
- Public School Bus: The Public School Bus Set-Aside has been closed. Vouchers may still be requested through Standard HVIP.
- Innovative Small e-Fleets (ISEF): The ISEF Set-Aside provides $24 million of pilot funding for incentives for small trucking fleets and independent owner operators. ISEF implements new and innovative mechanisms such as flexible leases, peer-to-peer truck sharing, truck-as-a-service, assistance with infrastructure, and individual owner planning assistance.
