Vehicle Resource Guide for Medium Duty Fleets
Federal Government Reference Pages
ecoTECHNOLOGY for Vehicles Program – This program by Transport Canada tests the safety, environmental impact and driving performance of new technologies for passenger cars and heavy-duty trucks.
Energy Innovation Program – On-road Transportation Decarbonization – This program will help decarbonize the transportation sector by funding research, development, and demonstration projects.
Green Freight Program – Federal funding incentives towards fleet energy assessments and eligible truck and trailer retrofits.
Zero Emission Vehicle Awareness Initiative – Background on the ZEVAI program by NRCan (Natural Resources Canada).
Zero Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program – provides funding towards the deployment of electric vehicle (EV) chargers and hydrogen refueling stations across Canada.
Zero-Emission Vehicles Landing Page – The Federal Government’s landing page for zero-emission vehicle information in transportation and infrastructure. Includes tools like an EV charger and hydrogen refueling station locator.
Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator | Natural Resources Canada (nrcan.gc.ca): The GHG equivalencies calculator can help translate abstract measurements and emissions data into concrete terms, such as the annual emissions from cars or households.
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Model: The Government of Canada’s Fuel Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Model is a tool to calculate the life cycle carbon intensity of fuels and energy sources used/produced in Canada. The Model helps to support the delivery of regulations and programs as part of Canada’s actions on climate change
Electric Charging and Alternative Fuelling Stations Locator (canada.ca): This map shows alternative fuel stations where you can recharge or refuel in Canada.
Initiatives and Partnerships
The Net Zero Supply Chain (NZSC) Initiative is an innovative partnership focused on accelerating decarbonization in Canada’s freight-transportation supply chains. Developed by GLOBE, Delphi and 7GEN.
