California Air Resources Board

What does it fund?

Vouchers are used to purchase zero-emission off-road equipment such as forklifts, transport refrigeration units, construction equipment, and terminal trucks.

Who is eligible for funds?

Public and private off-road equipment operators.

Are there recent policy changes?

In 2022 the program added new equipment categories such as construction and agriculture equipment, switcher locomotives, and commercial harbor craft.

How does this program provide benefits to priority populations?

Purchasers may be eligible for a 10 percent enhancement of the base voucher amount for equipment deployed in a priority population. Communities benefit from zero-emission equipment replacing the diesel equipment/vehicles that would have otherwise contributed to local air pollution.

How do I access funds?

Vehicle purchasers can contact an approved dealer to submit a voucher request for eligible vehicle technology.
