Truck Voucher Incentive Program There’s Never Been a Better Time to Upgrade Your Fleet to Zero-Emission Vehicle Technology New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) is pleased to announce new funding tracks and zero emission medium and heavy-duty technologies to the New York Truck Voucher Incentive Program (NYTVIP): Class 3-8 Zero Emission Vehicles, Non-Road Equipment, and Transit Buses.

These advanced vehicles and equipment are typically less expensive to operate over a vehicle/equipment lifetime and often far less noisy than diesel equivalents that produce tailpipe pollution. The eligible vehicles/equipment that NYTVIP offers incentives for eliminate dangerous tailpipe pollutants, especially in disadvantaged communities.

NYTVIP provides vouchers, or discounts, to Fleets (Vehicle/Equipment Purchasers and Operators) across New York State that purchase or lease medium- and heavy-duty zero-emission battery electric (BEV) or hydrogen fuel cell electric (FCEV) vehicles, electric non-road equipment, and BEV or FCEV transit buses. Voucher amounts are calculated differently based on funding track.

Voucher incentive levels may differ by vehicle/equipment type, vehicle weight class, vehicle domicile locations, fleet size, and dismantling of an older diesel vehicle. Voucher amounts are subject to funding availability and applicable per-project caps. For more information about program eligibility and rules, consult the Program Implementation Manual .

Fleets may combine or stack NYTVIP funding with other grants or incentives obtained from Local, State, or Federal sources, except the programs outlined below. In no case may the total funded amount from all funding sources exceed the base cost of the vehicle.

Funding stackable with NYTVIP may include but is not limited to: Joint Utilities of NY Heavy-Duty Make Ready Pilot Clean Commercial Vehicle Credit (IRC 45W) Most local, State and Federal grants/incentives If a Fleet is unsure if their grants are stackable with NYTVIP Vouchers, please contact [email protected] and a NYSERDA Project Manager will review eligibility.

Funding that cannot be combined with NYTVIP funding: Other grants from NYSERDA Including from the NY Clean Transportation Prize or other competitive solicitations/program opportunity notices (PON’s) Federal Transit Administration “Lo-No” grants Other EPA DERA Program grants Helpful NYTVIP Information Learn how the New York Truck Voucher Incentive Program (NYTVIP) makes zero-emission vehicle and equipment purchases simpler and more affordable.

Award Letters are received through Dealers. Individual Purchasers must be a business entity. However, the 12-month wait period will restart and an additional $2 million will be accessible upon successful completion of a project and all existing NYTVIP voucher applications are marked “closed” in the Salesforce portal.
