WELCOME!

Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation (MIT), together with the Manitoba Trucking Association (MTA), the Centre for Sustainable Transportation (CST) and University of Manitoba Transport Institute (UMTI) is introducing a new GrEEEn (Economically and Environmentally Efficient) Trucking incentive program. The program offers incentives to companies that install various technological improvements.

The key objectives of the GrEEEn Trucking program are to:

• further demonstrate Provincial commitment/leadership in promoting technology and innovation as a way to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the freight transportation sector
• help the private sector, through financial incentives, implement GHG emission reduction technologies

Participants are required to invest a minimum of $2,000 in technologies to be eligible for rebates. These rebates range from 15 per cent up to 25 per cent (maximum $2,500 per unit) of the company’s capital investment.

The GrEEEn Trucking program offers a flexible way for Manitoba’s trucking industry to combine technologies, enhance efficiency and reduce GHG emissions. An energy efficient trucking industry is more competitive, supports employment growth and contributes to a healthy provincial economy.

 

The deadline for applications has been extended to December 15, 2009.
