Alternative Bi-Fuel Vehicle Rebates



The Alternative Bi-Fuel Vehicle Rebate Program provides incentives to encourage the use and deployment of bi-fuel vehicle technologies in Delaware.

Alternative Fuel BusesBi-fuel vehicles for this program are defined as those vehicles that have two separate fueling systems that enable them to run on either propane or natural gas and a conventional fuel.

This program is part of Delaware’s commitment to innovation in the transportation sector, reducing greenhouse gases, and improving Delaware’s air quality.

For more information, see the full description and guidance for the Alternative Bi-Fuel Vehicle Rebate Program.

How much are the rebates?

Rebates are available for the purchase or lease of a new bi-fuel vehicle and for certain bi-fuel vehicle retrofits.

New Bi-Fuel Vehicles: $1,350

Rebates are available for new passenger vehicles (classes 1 through 6) purchased or leased between January 1, 2017 and June 30, 2018.

How to Apply

You can apply for a rebate either directly or through a participating auto dealer. You do not need to purchase a vehicle from a participating dealership to qualify for a rebate. Participating dealers, however, are able to roll your rebate into your monthly lease or financing. All applications must be signed by both the purchaser and a dealer representative. The applicant is responsible for ensuring that all documentation is complete.
