California is continuing to accelerate zero-emission transportation with funding available through the Clean Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project, the state’s primary incentive program for clean trucks and buses. And demand is surging, with nearly $200 million requested on the first day applications opened.

Funded mainly through California’s Cap-and-Invest Program, also known as Cap-and-Trade, the incentive program saw participation skyrocket 177 percent from 2023 to 2024, marking record demand for clean and zero-emission trucks and buses. In February of this year alone, more than 200 HVIP-funded vehicles hit the road with the help of $31 million in incentives, and the pace shows no signs of slowing in 2025.

Launched in 2009, HVIP helps fleets and businesses transition to zero-emission vehicles through point-of-sale discounts. The program remains a cornerstone of California’s clean transportation transition.

Over 15 years, HVIP has invested $820 million to deploy more than 10,500 clean vehicles across 2,000 fleets.

HVIP-funded vehicles have logged over 340 million miles, delivering significant real-world emission reductions across the state.

Eighty-one percent of vehicle orders come from public agencies and small businesses, expanding access to clean transportation.

More than 5,000 vehicles are currently in production, reflecting record demand for the program.

HVIP now supports 167 advanced vehicle models and a growing network of manufacturers and dealers.

On Oct. 21, $30 million in funding for the Innovative Small e-Fleet Pilot Project will be available. Additionally, eligible drayage truck purchasers may qualify for added incentives through the Port of Los Angeles and Port of Long Beach.
