Texas Natural Gas Vehicle Grant Program (TNGVGP)

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) is inviting applications for the Texas Natural Gas Vehicle Grant Program (TNGVGP), which aims to encourage the replacement or repowering of on-road heavy-duty or medium-duty vehicles powered by diesel or gasoline with natural gas vehicles or engines. Eligible applicants include individuals and entities that own or operate these types of vehicles registered to operate in Texas. The program will provide grants to offset up to 90% of the incremental cost of the qualifying vehicle or engine, with maximum grant amounts specified in the program documents. The application submission deadline is March 4, 2025, and the request for reimbursement deadline is April 30, 2027. There will not be a pre-proposal conference, and the total amount to be awarded will depend on the revenue received in the Texas Emissions Reduction Plan (TERP) Trust Fund. At least 60% of the total amount will be awarded to vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of at least 33,001 pounds.

The TNGVGP has no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. There are no listed incumbent vendors or current contractors, and the program does not require integration with any existing infrastructure or technology. The maximum grant award per vehicle is based on the incremental cost, with the overall budget for the program dependent on the revenue received in the TERP Trust Fund.
