Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicles (CHDV) Grant Program Webinar

Get Ready for the 2024 Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicles (CHDV) Grant Program! The Inflation Reduction Act invests $1 billion to replace existing heavy-duty vehicles with zero-emission vehicles, support zero-emission vehicle infrastructure, and train and develop workers. Under the EPA CHDV Program, the EPA plans to launch a grant program this spring to fund the purchase zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles, with $400 million allocated to projects in communities in air quality nonattainment areas.

Please join us for a webinar on EPA’s Clean Heavy Duty Vehicle Program. This information session will provide potential applicants a background on the program, eligibility requirements, funding, and important dates to be aware of. We will also hear from from:

• Background and eligibility requirements from the EPA
• Community Engagement with Mothers Out Front
• Successful clean heavy duty city/county projects from Virginia Clean Cities
• Scaling Your Fleet, examples with Highland Electric
