The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) administers the Texas Emissions Reduction Plan (TERP), a state-funded initiative designed to reduce air pollution by incentivizing the replacement of older, high-emission vehicles and equipment with cleaner alternatives. For large shippers and logistics operators, this program presents a significant opportunity to lower costs, enhance operational efficiency, and meet sustainability targets—without the financial burden of fleet upgrades.
TERP is a collection of grant and incentive programs aimed at reducing nitrogen oxides (NOx) and other harmful emissions, helping Texas meet federal clean air standards while enabling businesses to transition to cleaner transportation solutions.
Diesel Emissions Reduction Incentive (DERI) Program – Provides grants to replace, repower, or retrofit older diesel vehicles and equipment.
Governmental Alternative Fuel Fleet (GAFF) Program – Assists government agencies in transitioning to alternative fuel vehicles.
Texas Clean Fleet Program (TCFP) – Supports fleet owners in replacing multiple diesel vehicles with cleaner alternatives.
Texas Natural Gas Vehicle Grant Program (TNGVGP) – Encourages the adoption of natural gas vehicles.
Under the Diesel Emissions Reduction Incentive (DERI) Program, YMX Logistics has secured $1.95 million in funding to assist Texas shippers in electrifying their yard truck fleets. Unlike traditional programs that require shippers to navigate the grant process independently, YMX ensures a seamless transition by managing the entire process on your behalf.
Rather than requiring shippers to invest in electric yard trucks, YMX leverages TERP/DERI funding to deploy EV yard trucks at your facility with no capital expenditures.
