Document Description
The project will fund the design, development, and deployment of a liquefied natural gas extended-range electric vehicle for medium-duty truck applications. Recipient will partner with Light Engineering and Valence Technology to develop the product, and with Pacific Gas & Electric, East Bay Clean Cities, County of Alameda, and SA Recycling for deployment. The project benefits the public by demonstrating the cost-effectiveness of alternative vehicles, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, reducing noise associated with diesel consumption, and reducing dependence on petroleum fuels.
The project is exempt as an existing facility because the design, development, and manufacture of the electric vehicles will take place at EVI's existing facility, in compliance with current permits and with no expansion of its current use.
