Ghostworks Earns California Zero-Emission Voucher Certification
The California Air Resources Board has certified Ghostworks to develop and manufacture zero-emission electric-powered vessels eligible for the state's Clean Off-Road Equipment Voucher Incentive Project (CORE). The certification opens a new path for public agencies, transit authorities, and private operators pursuing aggressive climate goals and clean-tech fleet conversion in California.
Two Ghostworks vessels are approved for CORE incentives. Ecto-10, our 10 meter composite catamaran with twin battery-electric outboards, is built for urban ferry routes, tour operators, and coastal transit services. Minerva, our 14 meter M-Hull platform with carbon fiber construction, is engineered for higher passenger and cargo capacities and longer routes, with a path to hybrid diesel-electric propulsion for expanded range.
CORE enables California businesses and government entities to apply for vouchers that significantly offset the cost of zero-emission equipment, making the transition to cleaner alternatives more affordable.
