Statewide Program Provides Local Funding to Help Improve Air Quality

Private business and public agencies that use heavy-duty vehicles or mobile off-road equipment can receive funds to defray the costs of new lower emission technologies for diesel engines. The AQMD helps fleets pay for new lower emission engines, lower emission retrofits, and new engine replacements with their Heavy-Duty Low-Emission Vehicle Program. All fleets, public and private, in the six county Federal Ozone Non-Attainment Area are eligible to apply if they use:

small blue dot medium or heavy-duty on-road gas or diesel over 14,000 pounds gross weight
small blue dot off-road equipment including: construction, agricultural, stationary agricultural water pump engines, commercial marine vessels, locomotives, forklifts, airport ground support equipment

Mobile sources such as cars, trucks, tractors and other on and off road vehicles produce 70 percent of our air pollution. Low-emission fuels and technologies lead the way to cleaner air. By helping businesses purchase newer engines will accelerate progress to reduce air emissions and helps the state meet federally mandated clean-air deadlines.

The Heavy-Duty Low-Emission Vehicle Program is funded in part by the Carl Moyer Incentive Program sponsored by the California Air Resources Board. Incentives through the Carl Moyer Program will cover an incremental portion of the cost for the purchase of cleaner engines. Lower emission projects range from liquid and compressed natural gas vehicles to diesel engine replacements.
