This is the year to switch!</strong></p> <p>EP-ACT and PRCC invite fleet owners and managers to a one-hour webinar on the U.S. EPA’s Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) grant program. The program can help fleets replace older diesel trucks with compressed natural gas (CNG) and renewable natural gas (RNG) vehicles.</p> <p>DERA funding can cover up to 40% of the cost of an entire new truck, not just the alternative fuel portion. Applications for the current round are due <strong>January 20, 2027</strong>, so this session is meant to give you what you need in time to apply.</p> <p><strong>What you’ll learn:</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>How the DERA program works.</strong> You’ll hear what the grant covers, who is eligible, and how to put together a strong application.</li> <li><strong>How CNG vehicle upfits work.</strong> Ron Scholler of TransEdge Truck Centers is PA’s first Mack/Volvo Class 6–8 certified expert. He’ll cover which trucks can be upfitted and what the process involves.</li> <li><strong>What kinds of CNG fueling stations exist.</strong> You’ll get an overview of fast-fill, time-fill, and other station options, so you can see what fits your operation.</li> <li><strong>Why CNG/RNG beats diesel.</strong> The session covers fuel cost savings, emissions reductions, and long-term operating benefits.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Speakers:</strong> a representative from the U.S. EPA; Ron Scholler of TransEdge Truck Centers; and Jay Canuso of Oxford Engineering.</p> https://ep-act.org/event-6909452 https://ep-act.org/event-6909452
