Governments and port authorities are implementing financial incentives to accelerate the adoption of zero-emission heavy vehicles.

In the United States, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, in partnership with the nonprofit CALSTART, launched $45 million in incentive programs. Funded by an EPA Clean Ports Program grant, these initiatives include the Clean Truck Incentive program, providing up to $39 million in vouchers for zero-emission drayage trucks and equipment, and the $5 million Green Drayage Accelerator program to fund electric truck charging hubs near marine terminals.

In the Netherlands, the AanZET subsidy scheme is opening a 119.2 million euro funding round sourced from truck levy revenues. This subsidy targets new, fully zero-emission trucks in the N2 and N3 categories weighing 10,000 kilograms or more. The program includes specific application phases and priority considerations for small and medium-sized enterprises.
