Climate adaptation assistance for Ag — off-road vehicle incentive program promotes purchase of zero-emission equipment

The California Air Resources Board has launched the Clean Off-Road Equipment Voucher Incentive Project (CORE) to help businesses and fleets invest in the most advanced zero-emission off-road freight, agricultural, harbor craft and construction technologies.

The program will offer vouchers of up-to $1 million to help cover the costs of equipment and
infrastructure. Additional funds and priority funding are available if the equipment is operated in a pollution-overburdened community (refer to program guidelines) or if the equipment
is purchased by a small business.

The following equipment is covered by the program:

Agricultural equipment
Airport cargo loaders
Construction equipment
Container-handling equipment
Forklifts (greater than 8000 lbs. lift capacity)
Ground power units (GPU)
Harbor craft
Landscaping equipment
Mobile power units (MPU)
Mobile shore-power cable management systems
On- and off-road terminal tractors
Railcar movers
Rubber-tired gantry (RTG) cranes
Shore-side electric vessel supply equipment,
including hydrogen fueling
Transport refrigeration units
Wide-body aircraft tugs
