MEDIA ADVISORY: Air Resources Board and partners celebrate
significant milestone with clean-air trucks 

CHINO - The California Air Resources Board is recognizing the
2,000th Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher, to be
handed to Redwood Products of Chino, a small business that
invested in a clean, low-carbon hybrid delivery truck. Cleaner
trucks mean fewer unhealthy diesel emissions in San Bernardino,
Riverside and the surrounding area. 

The incentive program has contributed to air pollution reductions
in the Southern California region and throughout California.
Since its launch in 2010, HVIP has provided more than $63 million
to help California fleets statewide purchase more than 430
zero-emission trucks and buses and 1,800 hybrid trucks and buses
– and additional funding is on the way. Funding for this program
is primarily supported through California Climate Investments
made possible by California’s Cap-and-Trade Program.

WHO:  Speakers include Senator Connie M. Levya, Mr. Christopher
Craig, a representative for Assemblyman Freddie Rodriguez,
California Air Resources Board Member Barbara Riordan, Marcie
Rodriguez of Redwood Products, and a representative from Hino
Trucks. Also attending are representatives of CALSTART, Rush
Truck Center and the South Coast Air Quality Management
District.

WHAT:  Air regulators, elected officials and industry celebrate a
clean-air milestone at Redwood Products, which provides mulch,
wood chips and other products to nurseries and the landscape
industry in five western states. The Chino business is the
recipient of the 2,000th Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus
Voucher in the amount of $23,000 to purchase a low-carbon Hino
hybrid truck, covering close to one-third of the truck price. 

WHEN:  Friday, August 28, from 10:30 to 11 a.m.
Question-and-answer to follow.

WHERE:  Redwood Products, 9301 Remington Ave., Chino, Calif.,
91710. 

VISUALS:  A clean-air branded Hino hybrid truck and Redwood
Products’ Hino hybrid delivery truck, presentation of Legislative
certificate and symbolic $23,000 check to Redwood Products.

Background: HVIP is the nation’s first program to directly reduce
the up-front cost of hybrid or zero-emission trucks and buses.
HVIP incentives drive manufacturing production and fleet
acceptance of the advanced heavy-duty vehicle technologies
California must deploy to meet its long-term air quality and
climate goals.  Consumer incentives are needed because these
products generally cost more than their conventional
counterparts, which can be a significant deterrent to their
purchase.  This streamlined approach – with eligible vehicles and
preset voucher amounts available on a first-come, first-served
basis – has proven popular with vehicle dealers, manufacturers,
and California fleets.  

The program provides vouchers of up to $95,000 for California
purchasers and lessees of zero-emission trucks and buses, and up
to $30,000 for eligible hybrid trucks and buses on a first-come,
first-served basis. HVIP also provides incentives of up to
$110,000 for zero-emission trucks that provide benefits to
disadvantaged communities.
