Vicinity Motor Corp. announced that the VMC 1200 class 3 electric truck has received certification from the California Air Resources Board (CARB) as a zero-emission vehicle for the 2024 Model Year. CARB certification allows the sale of the VMC 1200 in California, as well as other states that have adopted CARB standards including Connecticut, Colorado, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia and Washington.

With this certification, the VMC 1200 can now be sold in every U.S. state. In addition, CARB certification allows Vicinity to participate in California's HVIP incentive program, as well as comparable programs in other states, which provide incentives to reduce the purchase cost of commercial electric vehicles. In addition, the VMC 1200 now qualifies for various incentive programs - such as the HVIP program in California - which provide monetary vouchers to reduce the total cost for the purchaser.
