TORONTO — Meena Bibra, senior policy advisor at Clean Energy Canada, made the following statement on Clean Energy Canada and CALSTART’s release of a Canadian zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty vehicle (ZEMHDV) model availability catalogue:
“We’re excited to be launching a first-of-its-kind zero-emission van, bus, and truck models catalogue at the Electric Autonomy EV Charging Expo today that can help Canadian businesses and fleets more easily make the switch.
“This comprehensive new catalogue lays out the specs of more than 150 models from 34 manufacturers already available for purchase in Canada and includes vehicle use cases, range, price, and wait times where available. It also summarizes the federal and provincial incentives available to help make zero-emission options even more attractive.
“With zero-emission options ready to go across all vehicle and weight classes, fleets can start saving money on fuel while cutting emissions today. Companies in the market for a zero-emission cargo van, shuttle bus, school bus, transit bus, yard tractor, straight truck, box truck, or tractor-trailer should definitely have a read.”
