Clean-Air Vehicles at a Fraction of the Price
The medium and heavy-duty vehicle market is transforming.
By slashing purchase costs, HVIP helps you be part of the transformation. HVIP’s streamlined approach means you see the discount immediately at the point of sale. In most cases, no scrappage and first come, first served. Dealers learn the voucher processing system, so there’s less paperwork for you.
How to Participate
Get in on base vehicle price breaks from $20,000 to $240,000, depending on the vehicle you purchase. Whether you operate one vehicle or hundreds, HVIP dealers are ready to work with you. Individual owner-operators, small businesses, corporate leaders, school districts, and municipal fleets are all eligible. Select a funding type below.

Find an Approved Dealer Near You
Participating dealers are listed alongside each vehicle in the Catalog. Each purchaser is limited to requesting 30 vouchers per calendar year, except for drayage fleets, and starting in 2024, refuse and public transit, which are each limited to 50 vouchers per calendar year. Starting in 2022, vouchers that are requested and redeemed in the same year will cease to count towards the fleet cap for the year. Also note, public school buses are not subject to fleet caps.
04
Complete a Purchase Order with Your Dealer
The incentive amount will be included on the PO as an immediate price reduction for you. You’ll pay the invoice minus the discount amount and the dealer will submit the voucher request. For more information on voucher modifiers and incentive amounts, check out the Funding Page.

You and the Dealer sign Terms and Condition Forms
You now have a new vehicle at a great price, with no need to wait for a rebate! There is also no scrappage necessary except for Public School Bus Set-Aside for Small and Medium Air Districts voucher requests.

Where to Find Incentive Amounts
The Vehicle Catalog lets you know the incentive amount for each vehicle. The Catalog only publishes the incentive amount per vehicle; the total cost of the vehicle will be determined between you and your dealer and noted in your Purchase Order. Also, Funding Tables are published in each edition of the Implementation Manual to further explain the amounts available for each specific technology and vehicle type.
Community Specific Incentive
The Disadvantaged Communities (DAC) incentive is 15% and is available only for vehicles domiciled in the following designated map areas, that are purchased or leased by a public or private small fleet with 20 or fewer trucks or buses, and less than $15 million in annual revenue for private fleets. There is no revenue cap for public or nonprofit entities. The increased voucher enhancement is also available for ANY purchase or lease by a California Native American tribal government. 1) Disadvantaged Communities (Yellow area on map legend) 2) Disadvantaged and Low-Income Communities (Green; yellow AND blue area on map legend) 3) Low Income Communities within ½ mile of a Disadvantaged Community (Crosshatched purple area on map legend) and 4) Low Income Households within ½ mile of a Disadvantaged Community (Crosshatched grey area on map legend).
