• This report assesses the future life-cycle costs (LCC) of owning, operating and maintaining comparable emission diesel and natural gas heavy-duty engines for three heavy-duty applications.
• Applications analyzed were refuse haulers, transit buses, and short-haul trucks.
• TIAX LLC estimated the LCCs for diesel and natural gas heavy-duty vehicles that meet the stringent 2010 EPA/CARB emission requirements.

Understanding Incentives

To encourage the purchase and use of clean energy, local, state and federal government organizations have implemented tax incentives and grants designed to stimulate business use.

Propel provides your business with strategies to take advantage of all the government incentives available. These incentives range from EPAct credits and matching funds for fueling infrastructure to substantial sales tax breaks on fueling equipment. New incentives are appearing monthly.

Additionally, the U.S. government has passed a number of incentives to promote the use of biodiesel ranging from Clean Diesel Vehicle Retro-fit Kits and Pilot Project Grants.
