On April 24th, 2024, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced the launch of the 2024 Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicles Grant Program to fund the replacement of non-zero-emission Class 6 and Class 7 heavy-duty vehicles with zero-emission vehicles. The EPA expects to offer up to $932 million in funding for high-quality applications that propose to serve communities across the country, particularly those overburdened by air pollution. At least $400 million will be used to fund projects in communities in air quality nonattainment areas.

  1. States, including U.S. territories;
  2. Municipalities, including public school districts;
  3. Indian Tribes; and

  • Class 6/7 Transit Buses
  • Delivery Trucks
  • Utility Trucks

  • The purchase and installation of fueling infrastructure that will support vehicles replaced under this program.
