Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicle Program is sponsored by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This program offers grants and/or rebates to replace dirty heavy-duty vehicles with clean, zero-emission vehicles, support zero-emission vehicle infrastructure, and to train and develop workers.

Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicles Grant Program Awards | US EPA Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicles Grant Program Awards Please direct additional program-related questions to: cleanhdvehicles@epa. gov The Environmental Protection Agency is administering 58 grants totaling approximately $621 million under the Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicles Grant Program .

The grant funding will reduce vehicle emissions by replacing more than 2,000 legacy school buses and vocational vehicles with new Class 6 and Class 7 zero-emission (ZE) vehicles and supporting infrastructure in 24 states (including two Tribes or Tribally-controlled schools) and one U.S. territory.

Grant-funded vehicle replacements include battery-electric school buses as well as battery-electric or hydrogen fuel cell bucket trucks, cargo trucks, dump trucks, emergency vehicles, refuse/recycling haulers, step vans, straight/box trucks, street sweepers, transit buses, utility trucks, and other vocational vehicles.

Over three million Class 6 and Class 7 vehicles are currently in use in the U.S., many of which pre-date recent EPA emissions standards. These vehicles emit harmful pollutants like nitrogen oxide and fine particulate matter. Since heavy-duty engines can operate for 30 years or more, legacy vehicles disproportionately contribute to harmful tailpipe emissions from the transportation sector.

Replacing existing Class 6 and Class 7 vehicles with new zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles will result in cleaner air and better health outcomes for communities across the country. The CHDV Grant Program will reduce air pollution by encouraging the deployment of ZE heavy-duty vehicles and associated infrastructure.

These emission reductions are expected to be particularly impactful in areas designated nonattainment with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. More than $400 million has been awarded to vehicle projects that serve one or more communities in nonattainment areas.

EPA-funded vehicle replacement projects will result in cleaner air and improved health for the communities in which they operate, the children and other passengers on the vehicles, and the drivers and maintenance staff who work on these vehicles.

The CHDV Program consists of two sub-programs: A School Bus Sub-Program that funds school bus replacement projects A Vocational Vehicles Sub-Program that funds vocational vehicle replacement projects CHDV funding for the selected projects will also support the purchase, installation, operation, and maintenance of infrastructure for charging ZE vehicles.

CHDV funding may also be used for workforce development and training to support ZE vehicle deployment and operation.
