2024 Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicles Grant Program
Funding

The Inflation Reduction Act invests $1 billion to replace existing heavy-duty vehicles with zero-emission vehicles, support zero-emission vehicle infrastructure, and train and develop workers. At least $400 million will be used to fund projects serving communities located in an area in nonattainment with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards.  
 
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will offer funding to eligible recipients to replace existing Class 6 and 7 non-zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles with Class 6 and 7 zero-emission vehicles. To support zero-emission vehicle adoption and deployment, funding may also be used for zero-emission vehicle infrastructure; workforce development and training; and project implementation costs.
