| Project | Description |
|---|---|
| 100 Trucks and Counting: Accelerating the Medium- and Heavy-Duty Zero-Emission Vehicle Market in British Columbia | Supporting commercial vehicle pilots in British Columbia and the systematic development of new knowledge-sharing activities, regulations, and training curricula informed by the pilots to accelerate the safe deployment of Medium- and Heavy-Duty Zero Emission Vehicles and energy infrastructure installations. Project Partner British Columbia Ministry of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation, Clean Transportation Branch Status: Ongoing Location:
|
| Acquisition of Medium and Heavy-Duty Vehicles | Procurement of Medium- and Heavy-Duty Zero Emission Vehicles from different manufacturers to evaluate, for example: vehicle range and degradation, advanced driver assistance system performance, driver field of view, and low speed sound profiles. Project Partner Volvo, Lion Electric, General Motors, Freightliner Status: Ongoing Location:
|
| Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs | Supporting Testbed first responder safety sessions through a literature review and hosting a web space on best practices for zero emission vehicle fire suppression. Project Partner Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs Status: Ongoing Location:
|
| Canadian Trucking Route Dataset Meta-Analysis | Reviewing and evaluating Canadian trucking route datasets to identify available information, pinpoint key data gaps, and provide a methodology to address these gaps, guiding future program and policy development. Project Partner National Research Council Canada Status: Completed Location:
|
| Global Technical Regulation 20 Development on Heavy-Duty Vehicle Storage Systems | Evaluating draft Global Technical Regulation 20 test procedures, in collaboration with PMG Technologies, to build Canadian capacity to undertake future compliance work and to provide feedback to the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe on the Global Technical Regulation 20’s development. Project Partner PMG Technologies Status: Completed Location:
|
| Heavy-Duty Vehicle Advanced Driver Assisstance Systems | Testing Heavy-Duty Vehicles with Advance Driver Assistance Systems to evaluate their performance; in particular, the impacts of regenerative braking systems on automatic emergency braking. Project Partner Transport Canada Status: Ongoing Location:
|
| Heavy-Duty Vehicle Battery Report | Examining the progression of battery technologies to meet the demands of heavy-duty trucking over short and medium distances, and their expansion into the long-haul freight market. Assess the impact of vehicles with ranges of 500-800 km on the future of long-distance freight transport. Project Partner National Research Council Status: Completed Location:
|
| Heavy-Duty Vehicle Low Speed Sound Testing | Evaluating sound levels from MHZEVs and their conventional counterparts operating at low speeds to help inform approaches to enhance vulnerable road user safety around quiet vehicles. Project Partner Transportation Research Center Inc Ohio Status: Ongoing Location:
|
| Trailer Aerodynamic Treatments Report | An experimental wind-tunnel study was undertaken to to investigate and compare the aerodynamic benefits, and corresponding fuel savings, of various trailer technology types. Project Partner National Research Council Canada Status: Completed Report: Wind Tunnel Test Results of Emerging Aerodynamic Treatments for Box Van Trailers Location:
|
| Transition Nova Scotia's Medium and Heavy-Duty Vehicle Fleet to Zero Emissions Alternatives | Developing standards, guidelines, and training materials to transition Nova Scotia's medium and heavy-duty vehicle fleet to zero emissions by 2050, detailing the necessary policies, regulations, timelines, and costs to transition 1745 vehicles across various departments and regions. Project Partner Nova Scotia Department of Public Works Status: Ongoing Location:
|
| Zero Emission Heavy-Duty Vehicle Field of View Measurements | Scanning to measure the field of view for drivers of zero emission Heavy-Duty Vehicles in Transport Canada’s fleet to determine if new drivetrains are leading to improved driver visibility. Project Partner Transport Canada Status: Ongoing Location:
|
| Zero Emission Trucking Testbed - Alberta, British Columbia and Washington State | This testbed, in collaboration with Deloitte and the Alberta Motor Transport Association, will involve 4 trucking fleets and consists of 12-month on-road pilot testing on 2 distinct routes using 4 different zero emission trucks, including a battery electric truck and a trio of hydrogen fuel-cell trucks. Data will be collected across all seasons to help evaluate vehicle performance, operating costs, maintenance costs and user experiences. Project Partner Deloitte, Alberta Motor Transport Association Status: Ongoing Locations:
|
| Zero Emission Trucking Testbed - Northern British Columbia | This testbed, launched with Innovate BC, aims to gather real-world technical evidence along a remote route in Northern British Columbia. Over 12 months, two class 8 hydrogen fuel cell trucks will be deployed, alongside a conventional class 8 diesel truck for baseline data comparison. All trucks will be tested in commercial operations with Gat Leedm Logistics, an Indigenous-owned freight hauler in Prince Rupert. Project Partner Innovate BC Status: Ongoing Locations:
|
| Zero Emission Trucking Testbed - Quebec | Deploying zero-emission trucks into commercial freight haul operations to gather performance, reliability, and cost data. Five Class 8 battery electric trucks are deployed across 2 trucking fleets to undertake regional freight haul operations to better understand, among other factors: seasonal range variations, downtime and maintenance causes and effects, cost of ownership, and driver experiences. The performance of these trucks is being compared to conventional Class 8 diesel trucks operation on similar routes over the project’s 12-month duration. Project Partner FP Innovations, Martin Brower of Canada, Loblaws, Freightliner, Volvo Canada, Globocam, ABB, CEGEP St-Jérome Status: Ongoing Location:
