Vehicle Eligibility Information
This page last reviewed November 15, 2011.


What hybrid and zero-emission trucks and buses are eligible for a voucher?

ARB is responsible for identifying truck and bus models which are eligible for HVIP funding.  The list will be updated as new vehicles are added.


How can I get my vehicle on the List of Eligible Vehicles?

The HVIP funds only fully commercialized hybrid and zero-emission trucks and buses.  Demonstration vehicles still in the demonstration or evaluation stage are not eligible for the HVIP.  The HVIP application and submittal instructions for hybrid and zero-emission trucks and buses are provided below.


How can I get my battery-electric zero-emission vehicle listed as manufactured or assembled in California for the purposes of the HVIP?

The California Energy Commission has provided ARB with $4 million in funding to augment HVIP voucher amounts for HVIP-eligible battery-electric zero-emission vehicles, to be provided on a first-come, first-served basis until funds run out.  These vehicles are also eligible for an additional 20 percent Energy Commission bump-up if they are manufactured or assembled in California. To be considered for California manufacturer eligibility, complete the application below and submit pursuant to the Application Submittal Instructions (above).
