The agreement provides funding to south coast air quality management district (scaqmd)

Specifically, the recipient will develop a pilot project to demonstrate battery electric asphalt compactors in the scaqmd air basin coachella valley. This assistance agreement provides full federal funding in the amount of $1,136,699. Pre-award costs are approved back to 2/6/2024. See terms and conditions.activities:the activities include developing a pilot project to demonstrate battery electric asphalt compactors in the scaqmd air basin, coachella valley, to test the be compactor in real-world applications and expedite product availability into the north american marketplace.subrecipient:develop and demonstrate three prototype ZE battery electric (be) asphalt compactors in the coachella valley (CV). This project is to develop and support a customer pilot project in california to test the be compactor in real-world applications and expedite product availability into the north american marketplace by 2024.outcomes:the anticipated deliverables include to develop and support a customer pilot project in california to test the be compactor in real-world applications and expedite product availability into the north american marketplace. Support asphalt paving projects identified in the eastern coachella valley (ECV) community emission reduction plan (cerp) to address particulate matter (PM) emissions from unpaved roadways, and reduce NOX and PM emissions from off-road diesel construction equipment. The expected outcomes include emissions reduction of NOX, PM2.5 and diesel fuel reduction; catalyzed commercialization through large-scale demonstration for ongoing paving projects, acceleration of widespread adoption for all fleets, showcase ZE technology to local communities and fleets that do not have access to higher priced be machines. The expected annual emissions reductions are NOX 5 tons, PM2.5 .47 tons. The expected lifetime emissions reductions are NOX 79.97 tons, PM2.5 7.54 tons. The intended beneficiaries include scaqmd air basin including disadvantaged communities in riverside county (coachella valley) area,.
