Minneapolis, Minnesota, US: Buyers of Thermo King’s electric E-200 or E-1000 truck fridges in California are eligible for point-of-sale discounts through the California Air Resources Board’s Clean Off-Road Equipment Voucher Incentive Project.
“Our electrified portfolio has expanded significantly, and by 2023 Thermo King will have a low or zero-emission solution in every segment of cold chain transportation,” said Chris Tanaka, vice president, product management, Thermo King Americas.
“Today’s announcement is one of the ways we are accelerating solutions for customers, particularly in California, who need immediate solutions and help to reach their zero-emission targets.”
The Clean Off-Road Equipment Voucher Incentive Project is a $125m project funded by California Climate Investments and intended to encourage California off-road equipment users to purchase or lease currently commercialized zero-emission off-road equipment.
This streamlined voucher incentive project helps offset the higher cost of zero-emission technology with a point-of-sale discount.
This incentive project significantly helps customers finance their journey to achieve zero emissions by December 31, 2029, as outlined by the California Air Resources Board which states that owners are required to turn over at least 15% of their truck TRU fleet operating in California to zero-emission technology each year beginning in 2023.
