Freight operations across Canada are racing to meet customer demands for greener transport. As these demands increase, fleet operators are challenged with many opportunities and risks associated with introducing retrofitting technologies and transitioning to zero- and low-carbon alternatives, including how they will pay for this transition.

Help is available to offset some of the costs through the Green Freight Program offered by the Canadian Federal government via Natural Resources Canada (NRCan). Both Stream 1 and 2 are now open and available for applicants to apply. Unlocking these funds can feel complicated. Below are the eligibility criteria, benefits, and ways GHD can help you navigate the funding challenge.
