SJVAPCD Mobile Source Funding Opportunities

February 24, 2026

California’s mobile sources, including trucks, buses, off-road equipment, marine vessels, and locomotives, remain major contributors to nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM), and GHG emissions. To meet climate and air quality goals, the State promotes near-zero and zero-emission mobile source technologies through incentive programs, accelerating fleet turnover and zero-emission infrastructure deployment across all sectors.

On-Road Heavy-Duty Trucks

The SJVAPCD’s Truck Replacement Program is a key local opportunity for public and private fleets replacing older Class 4-8 vehicles domiciled in the Central Valley. Applications are open for trucks meeting zero-emission or low-NOx standards. Zero-emission vehicles are required for yard trucks and fleets utilizing the Voucher Incentive Program (VIP). Funding can cover up to 80% of costs for small fleets and 50% for larger fleets. Participation requires scrappage of the older vehicle.

Statewide, CARB’s Clean Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP) offers point-of-sale vouchers for eligible trucks purchased through approved dealers. The HVIP provides up to $330,000 for Class 8 battery-electric trucks and $420,000 for fuel-cell models. Funding is currently available for standard HVIP, public fleets, drayage trucks, and Innovative Small E-Fleets Set-Aside.

Infrastructure Incentives

Infrastructure is critical for zero-emission adoption. The EnergIIZE Commercial Vehicles program supports medium- and heavy-duty charging and hydrogen fueling projects. For those seeking to deploy private, public, or shared stations for electric vehicle (EV) charging or hydrogen fueling, the EV Fast Track funding lane opens Q2 and Q4 annually, depending on funding availability. A separate funding lane for zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) infrastructure utilizing Megawatt Charging Systems (MCS) is open now and provides incentives for medium- and heavy-duty (MDHD) EV charging.

For light-duty public charging, the SJVAPCD’s Charge Up! program offers grants of up to $50,000 per site for Level 2 and direct current (DC) fast charging installations at publicly accessible sites.

The California Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Project (CALeVIP) Fast Charge California Project offers up to $100,000 per DC fast charging port for publicly accessible sites statewide. Eligible applicants include California businesses, nonprofits, tribes, and government entities.

Agricultural Equipment

For agriculture, the Zero-Emission Agricultural Utility Terrain Vehicle (UTV) Program provides up to 75% of the cost (maximum $13,500) to replace older diesel- or gasoline-powered UTVs or small tractors with zero-emission models. This program is first-come, first-served and requires a voucher prior to purchase.

Off-Road Equipment

The Zero-Emission Forklift Replacement Program provides up to 80% of the cost for replacing in-use Large Spark-Ignition (LSI) forklifts with zero-emission models. Eligible forklifts must have been operated in California for at least 2 years and be in compliance with CARB regulations. This program is an excellent fit for warehouses and distribution centers seeking to electrify material-handling operations.

Locomotive and Rail

The SJVAPCD’s Locomotive Program under Carl Moyer is accepting applications for Tier 4 locomotive replacements. Eligible participants include Class 3 railroads, industrial operators, military facilities, and passenger services. Incentives can cover up to 85% of costs, with project life up to 15 years. Engine dismantling requirements and in-district activity requirements apply.

Key Deadlines and Next Steps

Fleet owners and operators should evaluate truck and equipment replacement projects to determine incentive program eligibility and consider ZEV infrastructure projects while funding is available. For future projects, more funding may become available under the HVIP, EnergIIZE program, Proposition 1B Goods Movement Emission Reduction Program, or Clean Off-Road Equipment Voucher Incentive Project. Contracts for incentives should be executed prior to purchase of new equipment or dismantling of existing equipment.
