Alternative Fuel Vehicle (AFV) and Fueling Infrastructure Grants and Loans
The Utah Clean Fuels and Vehicle Technology Grant and Loan Program (Program), funded through the Clean Fuels and Vehicle Technology Fund, provides grants and loans to assist businesses and government entities in covering:
- The cost of converting vehicles to operate on clean fuels;
- The incremental cost of purchasing original equipment manufactured clean fuel vehicles;
- The cost of retrofitting diesel vehicles with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency verified closed crankcase filtration devices, diesel oxidation catalysts, and/or diesel particulate filters; and
- The cost of fueling equipment for public/private sector business and government vehicles (grants require federal and non-federal matching funds).
