Air Resources Board Reopens CORE Funding for Zero-Emission Off-Road Equipment
Published Friday, November 6, 2026
The California Air Resources Board will reopen the Clean Off-Road Equipment Voucher Incentive Project, or CORE, on Dec. 1, at 9 a.m. PT, with $140 million available to support the purchase or lease of zero-emission off-road equipment. Vouchers help offset higher upfront costs and are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. Applications will be accepted through March 1.
The funding includes $68 million approved in June and rollover funds from unredeemed vouchers. Agriculture and construction equipment will initially receive a baseline allocation of $14 million. During the first 30 days, CARB will monitor demand across equipment categories and may allocate additional funding to categories with demand exceeding available funds.
Farmers interested in purchasing or leasing zero-emission off-road equipment are encouraged to work with a CORE-approved dealer when the program opens Dec. 1.
