Michigan, Ohio, Pacific propane gas associations offering rebates

Propane gas associations in Michigan, Ohio and in the Pacific region are offering rebates to fleets who buy a new propane vehicle or get a propane vehicle conversion.

Michigan

Michigan truck and bus fleets are getting $4,000 rebates when they buy a new propane vehicle or get a propane vehicle conversion. Propane vehicle rebates are available until Dec. 31, or until funding lasts.

Any OEM vehicles that are 2015 or newer and are converted to a propane vehicle system, meaning it runs on propane alone or bi-fuel (propane and gasoline) that is approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency qualifies. All federal and state incentives must be applied prior to receiving rebate funds, and the funds may be used for the incremental cost of propane vehicle versus gasoline, or diesel vehicle only.

Ohio

Ohio truck and bus fleets are getting $1,000 rebates per vehicle, up to $5,000 total rebates per business entity, when they buy a new propane vehicle or propane vehicle conversion. Propane vehicle rebates are available until Dec. 31 or until funding lasts.

New OEM vehicles that are the current model year or previous model year with less than 15,000 miles and are converted to a propane vehicle system that is approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency qualifies. All federal and state incentives must be applied prior to receiving rebate funds, and the funds may be used for the incremental cost of propane. These rebate funds should be considered “matching funds” when applying for other grants or funding in conjunction with this rebate. There is a limit of five rebates issued to any single entity.

Washington/Oregon/Hawaii

Washington/Oregon/Hawaii truck and bus fleets are getting $1,500 rebates when they buy a new propane vehicle or propane vehicle conversion. Propane vehicle rebates are available until Dec. 31, or until funding lasts.

All federal and state incentives must be applied prior to receiving rebate funds, and the funds may be used for the incremental cost of propane vehicle versus gasoline or diesel vehicle only.
