NYTVIP vouchers for zero-emission work equipment

• Apply through an approved dealer if your commercial business, federally tax-exempt nonprofit or public body keeps, registers where applicable, or operates the equipment in New York. Federal government bodies and individual or personal use are excluded. Sign the purchaser participation agreement.
• Equipment must be an approved new battery-electric or hydrogen-fuel-cell model, not used or demonstration equipment. Its motor must be rated at least 50 horsepower or 37 kW, with a model year within two years either side of the application year. A three-year manufacturer warranty must cover the engine or motor, drivetrain and battery. Applicable federal and state operating requirements still apply.
• The old diesel machine must be working, older than its replacement and similar in type and function. The manual requires it to be owned and operated by the purchaser at application and for the previous two years. Annual use must have been at least 250 hours for agricultural pumps, 1,000 hours for locomotives, or 500 hours for other equipment in each of those years. The participation agreement permits annual-use evidence from a previous owner; that provision does not itself remove the manual's ownership requirement.
• A replacement with 40% more horsepower needs approval from NYSERDA, the state Department of Environmental Conservation and the federal Environmental Protection Agency. Above a 40% increase, the additional upgrade cost must be separately priced on the purchase order and paid by you, outside the 35% base voucher.
• Operate the new equipment for at least 650 hours annually during its five-year operating and reporting period. At least 80% of operating time must be in New York. Emergency-response equipment or equipment with an application address in a county bordering another state can use a 75% threshold. Any operation outside New York requires a written request included in the voucher application and approval by NYSERDA or its help centre, including when the normal 80% threshold is met.
• Keep the equipment in service for at least five years from its in-service date. Early sale or retirement can require repayment of 1.667% of the voucher for each remaining month, payable within 60 days of sale. Damaged equipment made inoperable may qualify for an exception subject to Department of Environmental Conservation approval.
• Obtain approval for a change of primary worksite. A site receiving the disadvantaged-community bonus must remain in or within 0.5 miles of a qualifying community, with the required use in that area. Leases or rentals to third-party operators must last at least three years unless the purchaser is a Charging-as-a-Service provider as defined in the manual: a company owning vehicles and charging infrastructure and supplying short-term fleet leases, potentially with services such as electricity or maintenance. This specific exception does not make every short-term equipment rental eligible. The purchaser remains responsible for programme requirements. The lease must pass on the full voucher through reduced payments or price, include the programme terms and operator addendum, and be supplied at application and redemption.
• Keep purchase and payment records for five years after voucher redemption and provide them within ten days of a request. The equipment and associated emission reductions cannot be sold as emissions credits or used to offset another emissions obligation.

• Non-road equipment funding remains available, subject to programme budgets and voucher approval. The dealer applies on the purchaser’s behalf.

Start with an approved NYTVIP dealer and an eligible model. Before applying, contact a participating dismantler to check it can handle your old machine, and complete section 1 of the required non-road scrappage plan. If a participating facility cannot do the work, complete section 2 for NYSERDA, state and federal environmental-agency approval before scrapping.

Give the dealer the purchase order, signed purchaser agreement, old-equipment information and scrappage plan. The dealer submits the voucher application in NYSERDA's portal and receives the award letter. Do not pay in full before application; a down payment is allowed. Delivery must wait until after application approval.

Have the old diesel equipment permanently dismantled after voucher approval and no later than 30 calendar days after delivery of the new equipment. The dismantler must disable its engine and chassis, handle environmental contaminants and supply the required before-and-after photographs. Both the dismantler and owner sign the scrappage certifications; the dealer submits them for approval. Missing this requirement can cancel the voucher and leave you owing the full purchase price.

After delivery, pay the amount not covered by the voucher. The dealer submits the discounted final invoice, payment evidence, equipment identifiers, delivery and in-service dates, equipment photos and scrappage evidence to redeem the voucher. Redemption must finish within 18 months of approval. Before expiry, the dealer may request a discretionary extension of up to six months with evidence of expected delivery.

Report equipment use for five years after voucher payment. Programme-funded monitoring devices collect location, energy use and operating data; maintain their operation. An alternative reporting method needs NYSERDA approval and must provide the required data at least quarterly.
