MONTGOMERY-The DERA program provides public and private on‐road and off‐road diesel fleet owners and operators
funding to help reduce diesel emissions within the State of Alabama. Reducing diesel emissions, such as
carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and particulate matter will help improve air quality and human health
in Alabama. We would like to partner with fleet owners/managers to retrofit/replace eligible diesel
vehicles, engines and equipment which may include buses, Class 5 – Class 8 heavy-duty highway vehicles,
marine engines, locomotives and nonroad engines, equipment, or vehicles such as those used in
construction, handling of cargo, agriculture, mining, or energy production. A press release regarding the
retrofit projects will be released to the general public.
