The Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources received a $9,070,650 Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicles Program (CFDA 66.049), established under the Inflation Reduction Act, to replace 28 diesel vocational vehicles with battery electric vehicles and install 24 electric vehicle charging stations across Massachusetts. The grant will also fund workforce development and training to support the maintenance, charging, and operation of the new zero-emission vehicles. The project aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality in disadvantaged communities in the state, while enhancing the local workforce's skills to support future electric fleet needs. The Massachusetts Clean Energy Center will serve as a subrecipient to manage an enhanced fleet advisory services component and provide funding to participating fleets.
