About the Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicles Program

The Inflation Reduction Act invests $1 billion to replace existing non-zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles with zero-emission vehicles, support zero-emission vehicle infrastructure, and to 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 EPA will offer funding to eligible recipients to replace existing non-zero-emission Class 6 and 7 heavy-duty vehicles with eligible Class 6 and 7 zero-emission vehicles. To support zero-emission vehicle adoption and deployment, funding may also be used for:

  • zero-emission vehicle refueling infrastructure
  • workforce development and training
  • project implementation costs

The EPA has announced a new Notice of Funding Opportunity, which offers up to $932 million in funding for eligible clean heavy-duty vehicles. The NOFO is open now! The application deadline is 11:59PM (ET) on July 25, 2024. The EPA anticipates notifying selectees by November 2024 and awarding the grants by February 2025.
