Vouchers for Trucking Efficiency: Reducing Emissions and Fuel Costs.
This bill establishes a federal voucher program to help owners of heavy-duty trucks (Class 8) purchase and install technologies that reduce emissions and improve fuel efficiency. The goal is to accelerate the adoption of cleaner technologies in the trucking industry, leading to environmental benefits like cleaner air nationwide. The amount of financial assistance provided is tiered based on the size of the truck fleet.
Key points
A new federal voucher program offers financial assistance covering up to 75% of costs for retrofitting large trucks with emission-reducing technology.
Eligible technologies include active aerodynamics, dynamic axle control, and alternative fuels like hydrogen fuel cells and electrification.
The maximum voucher amount per truck unit is tiered, favoring smaller fleets with higher subsidies (up to $4,000 per unit).
