In the South Coast AQMD, on-road programs are currently available, covering up to 80% of truck replacement with zero emission technologies. Trucks must be model year 2010 or older, and grant amount depends on annual mileage usage. Higher mileage usage trucks qualify for a higher amount.

There is also an offshoot called the Voucher Incentive Program (VIP), for companies with fleets of less than 10 trucks. It is a simpler program, with the application made by the truck dealer on the company’s behalf. Applicants interested in replacing their truck must purchase their replacement truck through a South Coast AQMD-approved VIP Participating Dealership that has completed the required training for the VIP.  The Dealers will apply to South Coast AQMD for the vouchers on behalf of the applicant. If approved, the voucher amount will be deducted from the total purchase price of the truck by the Dealer.

Links to current lists of South Coast AQMD approved Dealerships and Dismantlers are shown at right.
