2. Government Relations
Early Adopter Program
Our Government Relations activities at the federal government level continue with a view to having our proposed Early Adopter Program adopted as part of the federal budget expected next month. The intent of this program is to provide a financial incentive for the purchase of hybrid electric commercial vehicles (buses and vans) in order to increase sales which in turn will reduce the premium costs.
This $200 million proposal continues to be well received by all Departments visited and possible implementation details are being discussed.
3. Projects
Monitoring Hybrid Electric Delivery Vans Performance monitoring of the Purolator hybrid electric delivery vans operating in the Toronto Region is expected to be completed in a few weeks. This project, which is funded by Natural Resources Canada, also includes the monitoring of basic vehicles for a full comparison.
