VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY ELIGIBILITY Sample Clauses

VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY ELIGIBILITY. This section describes minimum criteria necessary for vehicles to obtain HVIP eligibility. Once a vehicle becomes HVIP eligible, the vehicle must continually meet the minimum criteria as stated. If a vehicle fails to continually meet the minimum eligibility criteria, the vehicle will become ineligible and will be removed from the list of eligible vehicles. Additionally, if a vehicle associated with a voucher request fails to meet the minimum eligibility criteria, the voucher request will be cancelled. If a vehicle has already been delivered and received HVIP funding, and later found to be ineligible at the time of voucher request, the manufacturer will be responsible for returning the full amount of the HVIP voucher. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer to ensure the vehicle meets the minimum eligibility criteria at time of vehicle delivery and voucher redemption. The manufacturer is also responsible for informing the HVIP Project Liaison if a HVIP-eligible vehicle does not meet the minimum eligibility criteria at time of vehicle delivery and voucher redemption. CARB is responsible for evaluating and approving the eligibility of vehicles for HVIP funding. CARB, at its sole discretion, may inspect delivered vehicles to ensure the vehicles meet all applicable local, state, and federal laws, ordinances and requirements, including but not limited to CARB certification and all applicable safety and air quality regulations. Vehicle eligibility applications are found in Appendix B. Application submittal instructions and an updated list of eligible vehicles are found at xxxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/.
