Overview
The Clean Fleet Enterprise Clean Fleet Vehicle and Technology program is a statewide competitive application process for new fleet vehicles and clean fleet technology. Fleets will provide background information on their current fleet make-up, indicate the level of planning that has occurred for fleet transition, and provide financial information on vehicles and/or technology the fleet plans to acquire.
In general, a successful applicant will convey an understanding of the program criteria, their preparedness to manage a complex and long-term fleet transition project, and their commitment to maintaining battery and fuel-cell electric or recovered methane vehicles in everyday fleet operations.

Current incentives
Listed below are eligible vehicle offerings through the CFVT program. Final awards will be offered at the lesser of the percentage requested or per vehicle dollar cap and may be reduced further depending upon total budget availability. To minimize vehicle price quote fluctuation, applicants are encouraged to request quotes that are valid for a minimum of 60 days (where possible). Additionally, applicants are encouraged to begin pricing research early in the application preparation process but to not request an official quote until closer to the application deadline.
Additional details about program incentives, and required quotes, are outlined in the program guide.
