Broader financing options for Colorado fleets

Beginning August 12, 2026, Colorado’s Clean Fleet Enterprise has broader authority to help public and private fleets. Support includes vehicles converted from fuel-burning engines to electric power and refrigerated transport units using zero-emission technology. Electric vehicle financing no longer has the former December 31, 2026 cutoff. Financing for compressed-natural-gas trucks no longer has the former post-2026 limit based on whether electric vehicles are practical. However, at least 90% of those trucks’ fuel must be recovered methane. The Enterprise can carry out its duties without following the Colorado Procurement Code. The law sets no payment amount for fleet operators.

Truck replacement help with strict limits

Beginning August 12, 2026, Colorado’s Clean Fleet Enterprise can help public and private fleets finance aging diesel truck replacements. Purchases are eligible through December 31, 2031; the replacement authority is repealed July 1, 2032. The old diesel truck must be model year 2009 or earlier, with a weight rating over 26,000 pounds. At application, it must be registered, working, and able to drive on its own. Trucks from model year 2006 or earlier get priority. The replacement must be a heavy-duty truck from model year 2018 or later. Both trucks must be Colorado-based, in fleets driving at least 75% of their yearly miles in Colorado. Buyers must surrender the old truck to an authorized new heavy-duty truck dealer when buying the replacement. The dealer must certify that the replacement meets applicable state and federal safety and emissions standards for its model year. The dealer must permanently disable the old engine and cut its chassis rails in half, or use an equivalent method. Replacement spending cannot exceed 20% of the Clean Fleet Enterprise Fund’s income in any state fiscal year. The law sets no payment amount per truck.
