The California Air Resources Board selected Calstart for the third year in a row to manage the state's incentive program for electric and hybrid trucks and buses.
Initially launched in 2010, the CARB program has led to the deployment of more than 1,000 electric and hybrid trucks and buses throughout the state.
"As a direct result of this ARB program, by an order of magnitude, there are more electric and hybrid trucks in California than any other state," said Calstart President and CEO John Boesel. Nearly a quarter of all electric and hybrid trucks in the United States are operating on California highways and streets.
The CARB electric and hybrid truck incentive award has received praise for its simplicity and effectiveness. The voucher program provides a direct cost reduction to the dealer, and the savings are transparent and evident to the fleet buyers. As a result, other government agencies, including the California Energy Commission and the South Coast Air Quality Management District, have elected to add funds to the CARB program to meet their strategic objectives.
