Hybrid Trucks Financial Incentives Guide

This guide offers information on various incentive programs to support the purchase of hybrid trucks.

The funding information is fluid, so we update the guide on a regular basis based on feedback from fleets, suppliers and funding organizations. Be sure to check back regularly for the latest information on program changes and new programs.

• Federal Funding

  The United States offers tax credits based on fuel economy gains for companies purchasing hybrid truck fleets.

• State and Local Programs

  An array of tax credits in various states and localities are available to companies with truck fleets. These programs typically require emissions reductions.

• Other Programs

  There are a number of existing and potential funding opportunities from groups such as the Diesel Emissions Reduction Collaborative and the Clean Cities program.
