The Green Freight Program was launched in Q4 2022 by the Government of Canada to help fleets reduce their fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions through fleet energy assessments, fleet retrofits, engine repowers, logistical best-practice implementation and the purchase of low carbon vehicles. It will be administered through two key funding streams. See below for details and Please note Stream 2 is Closed.
Green Freight Program (GFP) details
To take advantage of the program, applicants must first complete a fleet energy assessment through Natural Resources Canada (NRCan). NRCan offers up to 50% of the cost towards a third-party fleet energy assessment being completed. Applicants can also choose to conduct a self-assessment, following NRCan’s Assessment Guidelines. With a valid fleet assessment in hand, companies qualify to receive grants towards recommended fleet retrofit activities.
