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.

It authorizes $30 million in funding for the program, with up to 1% used for administrative expenses.
