The Kenworth K270E Class 6 and K370E Class 7 battery electric vehicles are eligible for a base $85,000 voucher incentive available to qualifying California purchasers from the California Air Resources Board (CARB).
The financial incentive is offered through the 2022 CARB Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP). In addition, the program offers a 15% Disadvantaged Community (DAC) bonus voucher for qualifying vehicles domiciled in a disadvantaged community.
HVIP is part of California Climate Investments, an initiative putting billions of Cap-and-Trade dollars to work reducing greenhouse gas emissions. California Climate Investments also works to strengthen the economy and improve public health and the environment particularly in disadvantaged communities.
THE KENWORTH K270E & K370E
Kenworth designed the Class 6 K270E and Class 7 K370E cabovers for pickup and delivery as well as regional-haul operations. The Kenworth K270E and K370E battery electric vehicles offer direct-drive motors rated at 355 hp for the K270E and 469 hp for the K370E. The electric powertrain is available with high-density battery packs of 141kWh, 209kWh, and 282kWh. These battery packs deliver up to 100-, 150- and 200-mile range, respectively, with zero emissions. Further, the Kenworth battery electric vehicles use a DC fast-charging system capable of re-charge in as quickly as one hour. Additionally, regenerative braking in stop-and-go city conditions recharges the batteries and extends brake life. End-of-shift and overnight AC charging is also offered.
For more information, contact your Kenworth dealer and visit the CARB HVIP website. The site offers direct links to information on the Kenworth K270E and Kenworth K370E. The HVIP program anticipates accepting new voucher requests soon. Currently, Kenworth dealers are taking orders from fleets with California operations; they will be ready to apply for funding when HVIP opens this year.
With the K270E and K370E, the Kenworth Driving To Zero Emissions™ initiative incorporates the Class 8 T680E and charging stations.
