Ports Accelerate ZET Deployments

The Port of Los Angeles (POLA) and the Port of Long Beach (POLB) are partnering with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to rapidly increase deployments of zero-emissions drayage trucks at the nation’s busiest port complex.

Through the ports’ Clean Truck Fund, POLA and POLB have invested a combined $60 million in point-of-sale purchase incentives via CARB’s Clean Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP), leveraging the streamlined voucher management processes administered for HVIP by CALSTART.

This innovative partnership has funded nearly 800 battery electric and hydrogen trucks in its first year (November 2023 – October 2024), improving air quality for drivers and frontline communities alike, while creating an example for other ports to follow.

HVIP funds are still available and additional port funds may be announced soon. Keep up to date at www.californiahvip.org/funding
