Stream 2: An Overview

Stream 2 of the Green Freight Program focuses on supporting the adoption of alternative fuel vehicles, helping fleets reduce their environmental impact while improving their long-term sustainability. This stream is an excellent opportunity for businesses looking to invest in cleaner transportation options, as it provides substantial financial incentives.

Key Highlights of Stream 2:

  1. Financial Assistance: Stream 2 offers eligible fleets the opportunity to receive up to $5 million in funding to help offset the costs of transitioning to alternative fuel vehicles.

Transitioning to these cleaner options not only reduces greenhouse gas emissions but also provides long-term operational cost savings through reduced fuel and maintenance expenses.
