You Run a California Operation. California Just Made Going Electric Up to $70,000 Cheaper.
KNEGT—the red tractor that runs green—has been certified for the state's Clean Off-Road Equipment (CORE) voucher. That means a qualifying California buyer can take the subsidy right off the price at the point of sale. No trade-in. No scrappage. No waiting on a rebate check.
You've watched the diesel bill climb every season. The clean machine always cost too much to pencil out. That math just flipped.
You didn't hold off on electric because you doubted it. You held off because the sticker was a stretch and the payback felt too far out. Meanwhile every fill-up got more expensive, the 6 a.m. noise complaints kept coming, and the maintenance bay kept eating your Saturdays.
California's CORE program exists to close exactly that gap. It's a multi-million-dollar fund, administered by the California Air Resources Board and backed by California Climate Investments, built to take the premium out of zero-emission equipment. KNEGT is now on the approved list. For the first time, the quiet, low-maintenance, no-diesel tractor can land at a price that beats the machine you were about to replace it with.
Plain English. Four steps.
You tell us the work
Call or send the form. We confirm which KNEGT fits your acreage or fleet, and whether your operation checks the CORE eligibility boxes. Straight answer, no pressure.
Your dealer files the voucher
You buy through a CORE-approved California dealer. The dealer submits the voucher request to the program on your behalf — the paperwork is their job, not yours.
The discount comes off the price
CORE is point-of-sale. The voucher is applied to your purchase directly, so you pay the reduced amount. You never front the subsidy and wait to be paid back.
You put it to work
Delivered, set up, and running — on California ground, on your schedule. Then the diesel line on your P&L starts shrinking every single month.
Same tractor. Same work. Better power source.
A KNEGT looks and works like the diesel tractor you know — it just runs on electrons. No fuel runs. No engine to rebuild. Quiet enough to start before the neighbors are awake and to work the zones where noise rules shut diesels out. Fewer moving parts means fewer Saturdays in the maintenance bay.
Each one is built to order with the attachments and options your work actually needs — and each is a candidate for the CORE voucher when you buy through an approved California dealer. Which model fits your ground is exactly the conversation to have on the call.
Add it up before you decide.
We check whether the voucher is real for you before you spend a dollar.
Here's our commitment: we will tell you the truth about your CORE eligibility up front — even when the honest answer is "not this funding round." We won't move you toward a purchase to chase a voucher you can't actually claim. You'll know your real, model-specific number, and you'll know the strings attached, before anything is signed. If CORE isn't the right fit for your operation, we'll say so plainly and show you what is. No pressure. No obligation. Just a real conversation.
This isn't a coupon. It's a state program with real money behind it.
CORE is administered by the California Air Resources Board and funded through California Climate Investments — not a dealer promotion.
The fund runs into the tens of millions of dollars, purpose-built to take the premium out of zero-emission off-road equipment.
KNEGT has been certified for the program — putting our electric tractors alongside the clean-equipment makers California already backs.
The questions every operator asks first.
Is the voucher really taken off the price, or do I get paid back later?
Do I have to trade in or scrap my old diesel tractor?
How much will I actually get?
I'm based outside California. Can I still use this?
Where do I have to buy it?
How fast do I need to move?
We build a tractor that does the work and quits burning your money. California just made that an easy yes.
We named it the red tractor that runs green because we didn't want you to give anything up. Same seat, same implements, same hard day — without the fuel line, the noise, and the maintenance drag. For years the only thing standing between a lot of good operators and that machine was the price. California's CORE program is the state stepping in to close that gap, and being approved for it means we can finally hand you a number that makes sense the first time you see it. If you run in California, this is the moment to have the conversation. We'll shoot you straight on whether it's right for you.
