How to Participate in NYTVIP: Vehicle Manufacturers

NYTVIP encourages vehicle manufacturers, Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEMs), and Upfit/Retrofit Manufacturers (URMs) to offer a wide range of zero-emission technologies and vehicle designs to meet New York State’s growing demand for zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty vehicles. By stimulating fleet adoption of cleaner commercial vehicles, NYTVIP aims to catalyze the development of a robust and advanced clean vehicle economy for New York State.

To participate in NYTVIP, vehicle manufacturers and modifiers must apply to have their vehicles listed for voucher eligibility by submitting a Vehicle Eligibility Application  to the Voucher Help Center (VHC) at [email protected]. Once a vehicle has been approved, the information will be posted on the NYTVIP website, where fleets will be able to identify the vehicle models and technologies that best suit their needs.

Vehicle eligibility guidelines can be found in Section 2.1 of the Program Implementation Manual. Generally, however, a vehicle must be a class 3-8 battery electric vehicle or a class 4-8 hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle (personal passenger vehicles are NOT eligible).
