VW TRUCK PROGRAM
DENR Announces Round One of VW Truck Program
The South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) announces Round One of the VW truck program. During Round One there will be approximately $507,812 of Volkswagen trust funds available for replacing trucks.
The program provides rebates to assist state and local governmental agencies in purchasing new Class 4-8 local freight trucks to replace old, high-emitting diesel trucks. The primary goal of South Dakota’s VW Environmental Mitigation Trust Program is to facilitate the improvement and protection of the ambient air quality throughout South Dakota.
Total rebate per replacement truck will be up to 25% of the purchase price of a 2018 engine model year or newer engine certified to EPA emission standards, 35% of the purchase price of a 2018 engine model year or newer engine certified to meet CARB’s Low-NOx standards, or 45% of the purchase price of an all-electric truck. DENR intends to award funds to as many eligible applicants throughout the state as possible.
