Arizona has received or is slated to get $15.4 billion in federal funding under various initiatives, including the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the Inflation Reduction Act, the CHIPS and Science Act, and the American Rescue Plan. Corporations and businesses have pledged $120.9 billion in related investments, primarily in semiconductor manufacturing facilities. Notably ... Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. is constructing three semiconductor factories in north Phoenix, representing the largest corporate investment in the state’s history.

And since LuxWall is manufacturing its product in America, it was also able to claim a $31.7 million grant from a division of the Department of Energy intended to bolster domestic supply chains. That grant will support construction of a new factory in Detroit, while the Series B pays for expanded production at the existing facility in Litchfield, about 100 miles west of Motor City.

The funding will help the Milwaukee Public Schools and city of Milwaukee replace 58 heavy-duty vehicles. The money will aid with purchasing 50 zero-emission buses for the school district, as well as eight fully electric dump trucks and charging infrastructure for the city.

Roanoke City Public Schools has been selected to receive an anticipated $16,722,965 to replace 50 class 7 fossil fuel-powered school buses with zero-emission/electric school buses, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Several of Utah’s heavy-duty vehicles will be replaced with zero-emission vehicles over the next several years thanks to a $60 million awarded by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced Wednesday that the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality has been selected to receive $6.54 million in funding to assist in the purchase of 26 zero-emission, all-electric school buses through a first-ever Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicles Grant Program.  

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency this week announced a nearly $8 million investment toward the purchase of 27 new electric school buses for three Arizona school districts as a part of a national effort to improve air quality, fight climate change, and reduce transportation costs

In Macomb, Oakland, and Wayne counties, 15 heavy-duty electric trucks will go to work in disadvantaged communities. That’s because typically underprivileged areas have air pollution problems already. Removing diesel trucks and replacing them with electric zero-emissions trucks will relieve some of that pollution.
