Sacramento,CAL,USA -Fleet Owner, by Wendy Leavitt -Feb 24, 2010: -- The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) of California has announced two separate vehicle replacement grant programs totaling more than $37 million. In addition to $16 million in state and federal funds to be spent on qualifying alternative fuel trucks, there is another $21.4 million available under the Proposition 1B Goods Movement Program, including $17.45 million for non-drayage trucks... The per-vehicle maximum for the first program is $100, 000. The per-vehicle maximum under the Proposition 1B program is $50,000, but it covers the purchase of 2007 or newer replacement diesel trucks as well as alternative fuel vehicles... The only hitch, if you can call it that, is that grant applications are due by March 12, 2010, just more than two weeks away. However, FleetOwner has learned that grant proposal experts at Clean Energy Fuels are prepared to help fleets interested in obtaining natural gas-powered vehicles with the grant application process today..
