Janus Electric (ASX:JNS) has received formal approval from the California Air Resources Board for its JCM 540 Battery-Electric Conversion System to be eligible under the Clean Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project.
The approval allows qualifying California fleet operators to access HVIP vouchers of up to US$90,000 per converted Class-8 truck, materially reducing the cost of converting existing diesel prime movers to zero-emission, battery-electric operation using Janus’ patented swappable battery architecture.
The milestone marks a step in Janus' US expansion strategy, providing an immediate commercial pathway into California’s high-volume freight, port and drayage markets.
The JCM 540 system is approved for Class-8 heavy freight trucks and supports rapid diesel-to-electric conversion, enabling fleets to meet tightening emissions regulations.
