On May 6th, South Coast AQMD hosted an inperson showcase at its Diamond Bar headquarters to feature the latest in lower polluting trucks, buses, shuttles, and other vehicles and equipment, including South Coast AQMD’s mobile monitors. Many of the vehicles and technologies showcased were funded, developed, and demonstrated through programs at South Coast AQMD. Some of these cleaner technologies are available through agency incentive programs that can be found online at www.aqmd.gov/programs.

South Coast AQMD officials, fleet owners and operators, local and state officials, academic researchers, media representatives, and other stakeholders got to “kick the tires” on prototype/commercial low-emission trucks and learn more about incentive funding for commercially available near-zero and zero-emission trucks, buses, and lawn equipment.
