As you contemplate the strategic direction for your company’s fleet, I’d like to emphasize the ideal timing for considering retrofitting your vehicles with fuel-reducing equipment.

These assessments serve as the gateway to qualify for the federal NRCan’s Green Freight Program. This innovative program offers a substantial 50% grant funding that empowers trucking companies to implement fuel-reducing retrofits, anti-idling technology, low rolling resistance tires, and telematics systems. These initiatives collectively lead to reduced fuel consumption and emissions.
