AI Summary
This bill, the FREEZER Trucks Act of 2021 or the Fostering and Realizing Electrification by Encouraging Zero Emission Refrigeration Trucks Act of 2021, directs the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish and carry out a pilot program to award grants, rebates, and low-cost loans to eligible entities such as state/local agencies, nonprofits, and vehicle owners. The funds can be used for two types of projects: 1) replacing diesel-powered transport refrigeration units in heavy-duty vehicles with electric units, and 2) installing shore power infrastructure to allow these units to operate on electric power when the vehicle is stationary. The bill sets maximum funding levels for each type of project and outlines application requirements, prioritization criteria, and data reporting provisions. It authorizes $30 million in funding for the program, with up to 1% used for administrative expenses.
