US West Coast hubs offer green fleet grants

[ November 10, 2023   //   Chris Lewis ]

The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach will make $60 million in Clean Truck Fund Rate funding available for zero-emission Class 8 drayage trucks that operate through the twin US West Coast hubs.

The grants are available through the California Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project from 14 November.

Each port is providing $30 million through the Clean Truck Fund (CTF) Rate, which collects $10 per twenty-foot equivalent unit from cargo owners on loaded containers entering and exiting the port complex.

Voucher enhancements funded by the ports are $100,000 per truck for fleets with 10 or fewer trucks, and $75,000 for fleets with more than ten vehicles.
