How It Works

Learn how to purchase a vehicle, sell an HVIP-eligible vehicle, or bring your vehicle into the clean transportation market. We're slashing purchase prices to speed commercialization and clean the air in communities that need it most.

Purchasers

Buy clean vehicles for your business or fleet – with no scrappage and first come, first served in most cases. Point-of-sale vouchers mean less paperwork for you.

Sellers

HVIP makes your trucks and buses easier to sell and helps achieve cost parity with traditional technology. Get your vehicles in front of the buyers looking for them.

About

California’s Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP) plays a crucial role in the deployment of zero-emission and near-zero-emission technologies. HVIP accelerates commercialization by providing point-of-sale vouchers to make advanced vehicles more affordable. Launched by the California Air Resources Board in 2009, the project is part of California Climate Investments. HVIP is the earliest model in the U.S. to demonstrate the function, flexibility, and effectiveness of first-come first-served incentives that reduce the incremental cost of commercial vehicles.

“This program helps clean our air and address climate change, which is so critical, especially for our region.”

Penny Newman

“The reason why I would want to switch over to electric is to better my kids' future with less smog in the air. We all know how bad the smog is, especially in California & I feel like making the switch could definitely help reduce this. ”
