Overview
This bill aims to increase transparency and accountability in California’s incentive programs for zero- and near-zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty vehicles. It requires state agencies administering these programs, like the Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project, to collect and publicly disclose pricing data from manufacturers and vehicle purchase orders. The bill also mandates an annual review of voucher caps and explores alternative financing options to encourage the adoption of these vehicles, including retrofitting existing trucks and attracting private investment.
