Wisconsin Diesel Exhaust Retrofit Grant

The Department of Commerce (Commerce) is administering a new U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) grant program to assist heavy-duty diesel truck owners in the procurement of EPA and/or California Air Resources Board verified retrofit technologies.  These technologies will maximize the reductions being achieved on trucks that are being outfitted with idle reduction technologies with state funds as well as reduce emissions from trucks that did not receive state funds. 

Factsheet 

Commerce Press Release

This grant application is not for idle reduction technologies (e.g., APUs), but is for diesel exhaust retrofits.


Applications: If you are a motor carrier who meets the eligibility criteria identified on the factsheet and are interested in the grant, please contact Tom Coogan at his contact information below to discuss the project.

Funding Available: $50,000

Project Period: 2007 - 2008

Funding Decisions: Commerce is in the process of reviewing applications and will fund those that provide the greatest reductions of emissions in the most cost effective manner.  


Why Retrofit?  The West Coast Collaborative website provides some great insights.
