Information for Fleet Owners About CalCAP Zero-Emission Heavy-Duty Programs
CalCAP ZEHDV, CalCAP ZEHDI, and CalCAP ZETBIF Participation for Fleet Owners
- A fleet owner of medium-duty and/or heavy-duty vehicles participates in CalCAP ZEHDV and/or CalCAP ZEHDI and/or CalCAP ZETBIF when the fleet owner applies to a participating financial institution (PFI) for loan(s); and, after the PFI underwrites, approves, and disburses the loan(s), the PFI enrolls the loan(s) in CalCAP ZEHDI and/or CalCAP ZEHDV and/or CalCAP ZETBIF.
- Eligible zero-emission heavy- and medium-duty vehicles and equipment are described on the CalCAP Zero-Emission General Information page.
- Prior to applying to a PFI for a loan, a fleet owner can explore incentives which may reduce the price of a vehicle and/or infrastructure, and allow a fleet owner to take a smaller loan.
- In addition, before applying to a PFI for a loan, a fleet owner can work with a small business center to become “loan-ready” and determine what loan terms are appropriate for their loan amount and region.
- Once a fleet owner is loan-ready, they can choose which PFI(s) to which to apply.
