印第安纳州：ADAPT计划开放申请，中小汽车零部件商最高获100万美元转型补助
印第安纳州州长迈克·布劳恩（Mike Braun）10月27日通过印第安纳州经济发展公司（IEDC）宣布，州政府推出「ADAPT」补助计划，帮助本州汽车零部件中小企业向混合动力、插电混动、纯电动和氢能等新动力技术转型。
该计划的资金来自美国能源部1079万美元的拨款，印第安纳州是全美五个获得汽车劳动力转型资金的州之一，分享总额5000万美元的联邦资金。单个项目补助额度为10万至100万美元，企业须至少提供1比1的配套资金，补助采取报销制，可用于设备、软件和员工培训。
申请已于10月27日开放，截止日期为2027年1月8日，获批项目须在2028年12月31日前完成。申请资格限定为总部位于印第安纳州的营利性中小汽车制造商，员工规模在1500人以下，500人以下的企业将获优先考虑；申请企业还须同意成为联邦资金的次级受款方。
州政府表示，印第安纳州有500多家汽车零部件供应商，每年生产130万辆汽车和卡车，产量居全美第二；其中约320家中小制造商支撑着3.4万多个岗位。汽车研究中心预计，到2032年，美国约65%的轻型车将配备电池动力推进系统。
项目评审由州经济发展公司与 Conexus Indiana 共同进行，并须获得该公司和美国能源部的批准，最终获奖名单将于2027年春季公布。
布劳恩和州商务部长查克·古德里奇（Chuck Goodrich）表示，这项计划就是要确保印第安纳州的零部件企业在动力技术换代时不掉队，保住本州的汽车制造岗位。
Indiana: Gov. Braun Powers Automotive Industry Jobs With $10M Grant Program
Indiana Governor Mike Braun announced on October 27, through the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC), the launch of the ADAPT grant program to help the state's small and mid-sized auto parts manufacturers shift toward hybrid, plug-in hybrid, battery-electric and hydrogen powertrain capabilities.
The program is funded by a $10.79 million U.S. Department of Energy award; Indiana is one of five auto-workforce states sharing $50 million in federal funding. Grants range from $100,000 to $1 million, require at least a 1:1 company match, are paid as reimbursements, and can cover equipment, software and workforce training.
Applications opened on October 27, 2026, and are due January 8, 2027; projects must be completed by December 31, 2028. Eligible applicants are Indiana-headquartered, for-profit small and mid-sized auto manufacturers with fewer than 1,500 employees, with preference for those at or below 500, concentrated in internal-combustion components and willing to serve as federal sub-recipients.
The state said Indiana has more than 500 auto parts suppliers, builds 1.3 million cars and trucks a year, second in the nation, and has about 320 small and mid-sized manufacturers supporting more than 34,000 jobs. The Center for Automotive Research projects about 65 percent of U.S. light vehicles will have battery-equipped propulsion by 2032.
Applications undergo competitive review with Conexus Indiana and require IEDC and DOE approval; awards will be finalized in spring 2027.
Braun and Secretary of Commerce Chuck Goodrich said the program is meant to make sure Indiana suppliers are not left behind as powertrain technology changes, protecting the state's auto manufacturing jobs.
