CARL MOYER ON-ROAD HEAVY-DUTY VEHICLE
VOUCHER INCENTIVE PROGRAM
NOW
ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS!
VIP Overview:
The VIP is a streamlined truck
replacement program that is limited to owners/operators with fleets of 3 or
fewer vehicles that have been operating at least 75% in California during the
previous two years. The goal of this program is to reduce emissions from in-use
heavy-duty trucks in small fleets by replacing older, high polluting diesel
trucks, with Model Year 2007 (or newer) emissions compliant models. The VIP
will be implemented by AQMD through contractual agreements with dealers and
dismantlers. The dealers will apply to the AQMD for the vouchers on behalf of
the applicant. The approved voucher amount will be deducted from the total
purchase price of the truck by the dealer. Applicants interested in this
program must purchase their replacement truck through an AQMD-approved VIP
Participating Dealership that has completed the required training for the VIP.
A current list of VIP Participating Dealerships and Dismantlers is posted below.
It will be updated as more dealerships and dismantler contracts become executed.
