The Ecotrucking Program is expanding

In order to contribute to the achievement of the ecological goal set by the Quebec government in its Plan for a Green Economy 2030, the Ministère des Transports has decided to renew and improve its assistance program for the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the trucking industry (Ecotrucking program).

By optimizing the efficiency of this sector and electrifying freight transportation in the short and medium term, we can significantly reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and Quebec's dependency on oil.

The program has been in effect since December 14, 2021 and ends on March 31, 2024. However, it is retroactive to April 1, 2021 for the "Technology Acquisition" and "Used Heavy Vehicle Acquisition" components.
