Mack Trucks announced today that its 2024 Model Year Mack MD Electric and LR Electric models now qualify for the California Air Resources Board (CARB) Clean Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP). This brings the total number of Mack battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) that qualify for HVIP to three.
HVIP can help accelerate the commercialization of ZEVs by offering point-of-sale vouchers to increase the affordability of advanced technologies for customers. Working to ensure that Mack is included in HVIP is another example of Mack’s dedication to helping customers with their electric vehicle purchases, while also helping to encourage the adoption of zero-emissions vehicles (ZEVs).
“Mack is excited to have two more vehicles added to HVIP so our customers can receive vouchers to help with the purchase of electric refuse and medium-duty vehicles,” said George Fotopoulos, Mack vice president of e-mobility. “Mack continues to look for new ways to help customers with the transition to electrification, and this is just one additional option that can help improve the ZEV adoption rate.”
Mack also has a dedicated person focused on identifying grants and other funding to help encourage customers to adopt zero-emissions technology. This is part of Mack’s strategy to provide support for the entire ecosystem surrounding e-mobility.
“Mack is here to help customers navigate through the multiple funding opportunities to help lessen the burden on our customers,” said Rose Jansson, Mack customer experience project manager for e-mobility.
The MD Electric is approved for an $85,000 voucher and the Mack LR Electric refuse vehicle is approved for a $120,000 voucher through HVIP. The MD Electric first qualified for HVIP in 2023, and the LR Electric first became eligible in 2021.
