The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is slated to launch a voucher program to reduce the cost of zero-emission drayage and yard trucks.
Voucher Allocation and Eligibility
The port is allocating up to $39 million of Environmental Protection Agency grant money for the point-of-sale discounts with OEMs and dealers.
A fact sheet lists the Class 8 drayage truck voucher amount as $230,000 and off-road terminal truck discount as $150,000. The effort is slated to start this fall with OEMs picked on a rolling basis based on sign-ups.
The program administrator CALSTART will develop dashboards for the new programs, which are slated to start this fall.
Complementary Charging Infrastructure Initiative
In a parallel move, another outreach will give $5 million toward new charging stations.
This initiative — called the Green Drayage Accelerator — will build charging hubs within 10 miles of the port. Sites will be constructed to support zero-emission vehicle operations in proximity to key maritime logistics infrastructure.
