California to Unveil $50 Million Initiative to Accelerate Charging and Refueling for Zero-Emission Trucks and Buses

TUESDAY, APRIL 13 AT 10:00AM PST. Join state transportation leaders as the California Energy Commission (CEC) unveils details of a first-of-its kind project to accelerate the deployment of infrastructure needed to fuel zero-emission trucks, buses and equipment.

Administered by CALSTART, the EnergIIZE Commercial Vehicles (Energy Infrastructure Incentives for Zero-Emission Commercial Vehicles) project will use a concierge-like model working directly with eligible applicants to help plan and fund the purchase of charging and hydrogen fueling infrastructure.
The $50 million-dollar multi-year EnergIIZE project will help communities most impacted by transportation-related pollution by meeting essential infrastructure needs of companies and public agencies committed to replacing old, polluting equipment with clean battery-electric and hydrogen options.
Accelerating zero-emission infrastructure fuels California’s clean energy economy, attracting manufacturers and creating jobs while advancing Governor Gavin Newsom’s executive order mandating all operations of medium-duty and heavy-duty vehicles be 100 percent zero-emission by 2045.

WHAT:

Announcement of $50 million effort that will fund infrastructure for zero-emission trucks and buses funded by the CEC’s Clean Transportation Program
