TRC Companies, a professional services firm providing integrated strategy, consulting, engineering, and applied technologies in support of the energy transition, recently surpassed $2 billion in funding secured for clients deploying clean commercial transportation and renewable energy projects across North America. On behalf of its clients, TRC has developed and submitted more than 650 successful grant applications and funding requests.

TRC specializes in helping clients secure local, state, and federal funding for projects across the U.S. and Canada involving low- and zero-emission transportation technologies, renewable energy, energy storage, and diverse clean energy solutions, including those serving utility client projects.

Noteworthy projects that received funding through TRC’s support include:

More than $40 million for the JETSI Project, which deployed 100 zero-emission Class 8 trucks across Southern California to operationalize zero-emission freight movement at scale.
$44 million for Volvo LIGHTS, an initiative that implemented a blueprint for the complete ecosystem needed to successfully deploy commercial battery-electric trucks.
$95 million for the Nevada Gold Mines 200 MW Solar Project, accelerating the decarbonization of mining operations in Northern Nevada.
$15.4 million for the Frito-Lay Zero and Near Zero Emission Freight Facility Project in Modesto, California, to deploy an array of commercially available and pre-commercial ZE and NZE technologies as well as renewable power generation and energy storage.
$5 million for Mariposa County Resource Conservation District to develop, demonstrate, and deploy environmentally and economically sustainable biomass-to-energy systems for the forest and food waste sectors.
$6.5 million for Foster Farms for projects to modify parking yards with EV charging parking stalls and implement emissions-reducing mechanical upgrades at five Foster Farms plants.
$4.4 million for Otter Tail Power Company to enhance grid resiliency with next-generation technology.
And leadership among several marquis funding programs, including EPA’s Targeted AirShed Grant Program, DOE’s SuperTruck Program, DOE’s Hydrogen Hubs Program, DOT’s Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Grant Program, and FHWA’s National Electric Vehicle Initiative Formula Program.

“We feel privileged to assist forward-thinking companies to achieve their goals to develop and demonstrate the commercial use of some of the most cutting-edge and advanced technologies in the marketplace today,” Erik Neandross, president of clean transportation solutions at TRC, said. “Managing multimillion-dollar grant applications can be daunting, but our team’s tenacity and knowledge ensures that our clients will successfully achieve their objectives while they remain focused on their core business activities.”
