The Shyft Group, a North American specialty vehicle manufacturing, has announced that its Blue Arc Class 4 EV truck has received both Zero-Emission Powertrain Certification (ZEPCert) and a Heavy-Duty Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Enhanced Electric Executive Order from the California Air Resources Board (CARB). These certifications allow Shyft's Blue Arc trucks to be sold across all 50 states, providing customers with access to commercial-grade EV solutions.
In addition to these certifications, the Blue Arc EV truck is now listed as an eligible purchase in the Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP). This program offers substantial financial incentives, with additional adjustments for small fleets and disadvantaged communities, promoting the adoption of cleaner, quieter, and more efficient commercial trucks through point-of-sale discounts. Customers in states with zero-emission truck regulations can also benefit from a range of other state and federal incentive programs, resulting in significant cost savings and a faster return on investment for fleet operators transitioning to electric vehicles.
