CARB and CALSTART mark 10 years of clean vehicle voucher program

June 24, 2019

The California Air Resources Board, along with CALSTART, Assemblymember Eduardo Garcia and SunLine Transit Agency gathered in Thousand Palms June 21 to celebrate both the first state voucher to support the purchase of a hydrogen electric fuel cell bus and the 10-year anniversary of the program that has put almost 4,000 ultra-clean buses and trucks onto California streets and highways.

The innovative incentive state discount voucher program (HVIP, or Hybrid and Zero Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project) offers deep discounts on clean vehicles to small business owners, transit agencies, as well as large fleet owners and managers who want to get advanced technology buses, trucks and other commercial vehicles on the road in California.
