The intergovernmental and stakeholder working met on January 20, 2021 to further discuss opportunities and challenges with integrating the testing and emissions of heavy-duty commercial diesel vehicles in Ontario.
The group reviewed:
A representative from the Environment, Conservation and Parks Ministry also presented the province’s recently released hydrogen strategy. CPA Ontario Government Relations Director, Marcelline Riddell, reiterated that government and industry stakeholders must consider supporting propane vehicles whose fuelling infrastructure is already in market, while the costs and benefits of hydrogen technology are still being investigated.
The government will post the plan when fully developed on the Environmental Registry of Ontario.
