Los Angeles offers clean truck grants

[ July 15, 2026   //   Chris Lewis ]

The Port of Los Angeles is inviting applications from truckers for its Zero-Emission Truck Purchasing Incentive Project.

It will provide up to $300,000 per truck, with a maximum award of $24 million per carrier.  

 Total available funding of $75 million, with $50m from the US EPA Clean Ports Program grant award and $25m from the Port’s Clean Truck Fund Rate, has been earmarked to fund the project.

Proposals are due by 3pm, Thursday, 3 December. The scheme is open to all Licensed Motor Carriers (LMCs) currently registered in the Port Drayage Truck Registry, for the purchase of at least ten battery-electric, Class 8 trucks.

As part of the Clean Ports Program, the Port of Los Angeles and Harbor Community Benefit Foundation and terminal operators APM Terminals, Everport Terminal Services, Fenix Marine Services, TraPac, and Yusen Terminals will allocate more than $600m in grant and matched funding toward projects that support the Ports’ goal to transition to 100% zero emission terminal operations.
