This Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) National Grants program (CFDA 66.039) provides $9,291,270 to Drive Clean Colorado, a woman-owned non-profit organization. The funding will be used to replace six diesel Class 6 box trucks with new battery electric vehicles and fifteen on-road heavy-duty diesel tractors with zero-emission heavy-duty battery electric tractors. The project also includes the installation of charging stations for the new electric vehicles. The goal is to reduce diesel emissions, including particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide, as well as noise pollution, in environmental justice communities across ten Colorado counties. The project period runs from October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2026.
