The Real-World Impact

See what real business owners and equipment operators are saying about the CORE project and zero-emission equipment:

CORE’s offerings for agriculture are great; we can save money, utilize equipment at a lower cost to us, and phase out older equipment.”

– Agricultural equipment purchaser

[CORE] Made [it] an easy decision to move into electric, because it fronted the cost of moving into these machines. It got me to switch faster to electric because it was so easy. It's a great program, really accelerated our decision. I don't think we'll buy another diesel or gas machine again.”

– Construction purchaser

With support from CORE, the Los Angeles County Sanitation District replaced diesel-powered equipment with quieter electric alternatives that deliver strong field performance while improving operator and maintenance crew experiences. The transition has helped reduce emissions, lower noise levels, and create healthier working conditions.
