Harley-Davidson Revs Up Electric Future with $89M Federal Grant

MILWAUKEE, Wis (Civic Media) — Harley-Davidson‘s push towards greener transportation received a significant boost as the U.S. government awarded the iconic motorcycle manufacturer an $89 million grant for its zero-emission motorcycle production plant in Pennsylvania.

The funding comes through the Domestic Manufacturing Conversion Grant program, part of the Inflation Reduction Act. It will support Harley-Davidson’s efforts to scale up production and refine its electric motorcycles, including models under the Harley-Davidson and LiveWire brands.

The grant will enable the Milwaukee-based company to expand its 650,000-square-foot facility in York County, enhancing production capacity for electric motorcycles. LiveWire, Harley-Davidson’s electric motorcycle business, uses an entirely American supply chain and is the nation’s largest electric motorcycle manufacturer.
