Bay Area - California Air Districts-v2-2

Carl Moyer Subsidy Program: Bay Area

 Deadline: February 5th, 2025 

85% OFF the retail price of a MK-V tractor

Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD):

The Carl Moyer Program (CMP) is a voluntary program designed to fund the replacement of older, diesel engines with cleaner engines in California. Implemented in collaboration with CARB and 35 local air districts, the CMP is a scrap and replacement program that scraps existing equipment, which are then replaced with cleaner engines to reduce pollution and improve air quality. Grantees can receive a reimbursement up to 85% of the eligible costs of the new equipment if they meet the eligibility criteria established by the respective Air District.

 

The Carl Moyer Program (CMP) has allocated approximately $1 billion to date and the Bay Area Air District has provided up to $8-$10 million in grant funding for agricultural equipment replacement applications each year to replace, older polluting engines with new, less polluting engines.

Monarch Tractor, the world's first 100% electric, driver optional, data-driven smart tractor could potentially be eligible for grant funding. Connect with a specialist to determine your eligibility, and get details on application deadlines and potential savings.

Additionally, check out the Bay Area Air District’s webpage on agricultural equipment replacement here (https://www.baaqmd.gov/en/funding-and-incentives/businesses-and-fleets/agricultural-equipment).

Please note, the CMP only pays for the eligible costs of the tractor, and any charging infrastructure. It does not pay for ongoing maintenance of the new tractor.

With Carl Moyer, diesel savings alone can pay for the full cost of your MK-V in as little as 1.5-3 years depending on crop and tractor usage.
