July 21, 2012 (San Diego) -- The San Diego County Air Pollution Control District announced the availability of funds from the Carl Moyer Voucher Incentive Program (VIP). The VIP provides a streamlined approach to reduce emissions by installing a Verified Diesel Emission Control Strategy (VDECS or “retrofit”) or by replacing existing, high-polluting vehicles with newer, lower-emission vehicles. Approximately $350,000 from Program Year 14 is currently available for eligible on-road heavy-duty diesel retrofit or replacement projects.
Fleets that have 10 or fewer on-road heavy-duty diesel fueled vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) greater than 14,000 pounds are eligible to participate in the VIP. Truck replacement grants range from $10,000 to $45,000. Exhaust retrofit grants range from $5,000 to $10,000.
Grant funding for potential projects including:
New Replacement Vehicle Purchase – The purchase of a new 2007 model year or later vehicle with an engine certified to a Family Emissions Limit (FEL) or Standard (STD) level of 0.50 g/bhp-hr Oxides of Nitrogen (NOX) and 0.01 g/bhp-hr Particulate Matter (PM) or cleaner to replace the existing vehicle to be scrapped.
Used Replacement Vehicle Purchase – The purchase of a used 2007 model year or later vehicle with an engine certified to a FEL or STD level of 1.20 g/bhp-hr NOx and 0.01g/bhp-hr PM or cleaner to replace the existing vehicle to be scrapped.
Retrofit Purchase and Installation - The purchase and installation of a qualifying retrofit device that is verified by ARB for the specific engine family in the existing vehicle.
