Electric trucking guide

Supporting the electrification of your fleet of medium- and heavy-duty freight trucks

Freight transport plays an essential role, but remains a major source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Given the environmental challenges involved, the adoption of electric vehicles is essential to reduce GHG emissions, particularly in this sector.

Propulsion Québec has assembled a team of experts from the freight transport industry,GLS Canada,Location Brossard,Groupe Robert,Nationex andPackaging Carrouselto design aa practical guide for trucking companies in their transition to electrification. It aims to demystify the adoption of these vehicles through concrete and inspiring examples, creating a solid knowledge base on the electrification of medium and heavy-duty trucks.

"We're delighted to share our experience through this guide, designed to make fleet electrification more accessible. You'll find practical information and recommendations drawn from our own transition to electric."
