Interested in adding zero emission vehicles or equipment to your farm operation? Your farm business may be eligible to participate in the Washington Zero-Emission Incentive Program (WAZIP), a statewide voucher incentive program for zero-emission commercial vehicles and equipment.

To qualify for the incentive, vehicle purchasers must be Washington-based businesses, nonprofits, Tribal nations, or government entities that have operated in the state for at least one year. The vehicle or equipment must be used for commercial or business purposes.

Choose an approved dealership offering eligible zero-emission vehicles or equipment. Work with the chosen dealer to apply for a voucher at the time of purchase. Put the vehicle to work and save on fuel and maintenance costs using zero-emission technology. Receive ongoing support from WAZIP experts as needs evolve.

The vouchers provide a discount at the time of purchase and must be used on eligible equipment at an approved dealer. Eligible equipment includes new and used on-road vehicles (Class 2b through 8) and off-road equipment, including agricultural machinery. Voucher amounts depend on the type of vehicle or equipment. Eligibility details and dealer information can be found on WAZIP’s website. Not seeing the equipment you want to purchase? Manufacturers can submit their models to WAZIP for eligibility review, and once approved, they will be added to the list of existing eligible products. Free technical assistance is available for questions, planning, and implementation.
