Vehicle class 4 truck/van ndep pilot

The Federal Highway Administration awarded the Nevada Department of Transportation $390,000 on December 10, 2025, under the Carbon Reduction Program (CFDA 20.265) to support zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) purchase incentives for Class 4 trucks and vans through a pilot program.

The award funds the Clean Trucks and Buses Incentive Program, established by Nevada's 82nd Legislative Session and administered by the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP) through the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT). The program provides financial incentives to eligible entities and contractors to purchase qualifying ZEVs, reducing transportation emissions from on-road highway sources. NDOT facilitates federal reimbursement for participating recipients. Program success will be evaluated based on emissions impact and vehicle adoption rates, with future expansion contingent on additional funding.

Work is performed in Nevada. The period of performance runs through September 30, 2028. The assistance type is a formula grant.

Project description

The clean trucks and buses incentive program, established by nevada's 82ND legislative session, serves as a financial pass-through using funds from the infrastructure investment and jobs act (IIJA) carbon reduction program and assembly bill 184. Administered by the nevada division of environmental protection (NDEP) through the nevada department of transportation (NDOT), the program supports the purchase of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVS) to reduce emissions and promote clean transportation. With an initial allocation of $390,000, the program offers incentives for eligible entities and contractors to adopt qualifying ZEVS, while NDOT facilitates federal reimbursement. Program success will be evaluated based on emissions impact and vehicle adoption, with future expansion dependent on additional funding.
