Kress Commercial has qualified for the Clean Off-Road Equipment Voucher Incentive Project (CORE) for professional landscapers by the California Air Resources Board (CARB). Kress is focused on leading the transition away from gas-powered to battery-powered products that offer the same level of power and no downtime, so professional landscapers—and their communities—no longer have to endure hazardous, unhealthy conditions caused by fossil-fuel emissions.

California Climate Investments, the state agency that oversees CORE qualification and manages billions of Cap-and-Trade auction dollars to incentivize the program, awards the CORE designation and related voucher funds as part of the statewide initiative that helps professionals switch from gas-powered equipment to zero-emission technologies. Having secured CORE qualification, Kress Commercial can offer lawn care and landscape professionals new purchasing-power using CORE incentive funding at CORE participating dealers.

In addition to eliminating gas emissions, the new Kress CyberSystem battery technology offers more power than other electric equipment on the market, a longer life cycle than current lithium-ion batteries, and an eight-minute charge time.
