LOS ANGELES, Oct. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- GreenPower Motor Company Inc. (NASDAQ: GP) (TSXV: GPV) ("GreenPower"), a leading manufacturer and distributor of purpose-built, all-electric, zero-emission medium and heavy-duty vehicles serving the cargo and delivery market, shuttle and transit space and school bus sector, today announced it has undertaken a process of selling its tradable emissions compliance credits earned under various regulations related to zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs), greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, fuel consumption, renewable energy and clean fuels.
"Through the manufacturing and sale of GreenPower's all-electric, purpose-built, zero-emission commercial trucks, passenger vehicles and school buses, we have generated hundreds of tradable credits and will continue to generate significant numbers of tradable credits" said GreenPower CEO Fraser Atkinson. "We are in discussions with a number of traditional OEM manufacturers and have also engaged veteran brokerage firm, Kardos & Associates LLC, to assist us in selling our credits, which if a sale is completed, based on Tesla's success in trading credits, could generate significant potential revenue for GreenPower. Given the increasingly more stringent emissions standards being implemented by state and federal regulators, the demand for credits is increasing and GreenPower is positioned to benefit by supplying traditional OEMs with the credits needed to ensure compliance with the regulations."
California's Advanced Clean Truck (ACT) regulation, EPA's Phase 3 GHG regulation, NHTSA's Fuel Consumption Credit program, and other state-level mandates each include credit trading programs that provide manufacturers enhanced compliance flexibility and the opportunity for reduced compliance costs through the acquisition of credits. Through these programs, manufacturers have the opportunity to earn credits by exceeding the emissions standard specified in the regulations. Once generated, the credits can either be used to offset internal deficits or traded to other manufacturers. Being a manufacturer of all-electric trucks, GreenPower has no internal deficits and is thus positioned to trade every credit it generates. Entities interested in participating in GreenPower's process of selling the tradable credits can contact Fraser Atkinson at fraser@greenpowermotor.com.
