Replace or repower heavy-duty diesel-fueled trucks or install charging & fueling infrastructure with funding from the Goods Movement Program. This program aims to reduce air pollution from equipment primarily moving freight and commercial goods along California’s major trade routes.
Year 5 Goods Movement Program – Heavy Duty Diesel Trucks
The solicitation is closed and the the Air District is currently not accepting Goods Movement Program truck project applications for projects to replace or repower existing commercial diesel-fueled trucks with new alternative-fueled equipment, install charging and fueling infrastructure, or install truck-stop electrification with grant funding. Please sign up on the Carl Moyer Notification List at the bottom of the page for notification of future Goods Movement Program and Carl Moyer Program equipment grant solicitations.
Project Types
The following projects are eligible for funding under this program:
- Equipment/vehicle replacement - replace freight-hauling diesel trucks (class 5-8, medium-duty and heavy-duty engine cycles only) with the cleanest available equipment
- Engine repower (small fleets only) - repower diesel truck engine with 2019 or newer zero-emissions or alternatively fueled engine
- Truck stop electrification - install electric infrastructure to reduce diesel engine idling where trucks congregate
- Charging and fueling infrastructure - install electric charging or hydrogen fueling infrastructure for trucks
Funding Levels
*New equipment only. New is defined as not used or previously-owned.
**Small fleets with 3 or fewer trucks only.

Electric-charging or hydrogen-fueling infrastructure
- Equipment owner agrees to replace one or more diesel-fueled trucks in their fleet with trucks powered by the fuel type matching the charging or fueling infrastructure installed for the project
- Applicant must meet required legal, permitting, and engineering requirements for installation
Truck stop electrification infrastructure
- Installed at a truck stop, intermodal facility, or distribution center within the four CA trade corridors
- Applicant must meet required legal, permitting, and engineering requirements for installation
How to Apply
- Review the application assistance documents in the Additional Information section below
- Determine the eligibility of your existing equipment and fleet
- Select the project type
- Gather information about your truck and engine (and retrofit as applicable) before starting the online application
- Apply for funding online in the blue box below- using only ONE application, apply for all trucks or equipment for which you are interested in receiving a grant (do not start a new application for each truck). Charging/fueling infrastructure can be entered on the same truck replacement application with your trucks.
- Charging/fueling infrastructure and truck stop electrification projects submit a proposal containing the required items in Appendix A Heavy Duty Diesel Trucks.

Certified Truck Dealers
View a list of Air District certified truck dealers(115 Kb PDF, 1 pg, revised 11/20/20). Certified vendors have a contract with the Air District to inspect your old truck and sell you a new/used truck that will be compliant with California truck regulations. The Air District recommends, but does not require, the use of an Air District certified truck dealer.
Certified Truck Dismantlers

Certified dismantlers have a contract with the Air District to conduct required inspections and complete & submit required paperwork for the GMERP program. The Air District requires the use of an Air District certified dismantler. If you wish to use a dismantler not found on this list, please contact our office to discuss.
Year 5 Preliminary Ranklists: Truck Solicitations 2016-2018
Year 5 funds first opened in 2016, 2017, and 2018. Year 5 preliminary ranklists for closed solicitation periods are posted below.
Equipment shown on the preliminary ranklist has met basic eligibility criteria for the program. However, appearance on the ranklist does not guarantee that equipment will receive program funding; applicants must complete further steps in order to receive funding.
Regulatory compliance - Program eligibility assumes that a truck and the fleet are already compliant at the time the owner applies for a grant. If staff notify applicants that their projects cannot be funded due to regulatory non-compliance, owners must work with CARB TRUCRS staff to correct fleet reporting problems. If compliance issues cannot be resolved with CARB, the fleet is not eligible for YR5 Goods Movement Program funding.
