With up to $15,000 per truck or $50,000 per fleet in rebates available, now is the time for eligible BC carriers to invest in fuel-saving technology.

Why This Program Delivers the Best ROI

When it comes to cutting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the HDVE Program is one of the most cost-effective solutions in BC. Compared to other rebate programs, it delivers 20 times more emissions reductions per dollar spent. 1

Between 2020 and 2022, BC invested nearly $200 million in light-duty vehicle program spending to achieve a reduction of about 325,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO₂). In contrast, the HDVE Program achieved the same emissions cuts with under $10 million in funding. That’s efficiency trucking companies can appreciate.

With 5,000 commercial vehicles in BC benefitting from the program in 2024 alone, demand has never been higher. The program has helped fleets invest in game-changing technologies, including:

    Electric auxiliary power units to reduce idling
    Aerodynamic upgrades for improved fuel efficiency
    Hydrogen fuel enhancementsto lower diesel consumption
    Zero-emission refrigeration units for temperature-sensitive cargo

Why More Funding is Critical

The HDVE Program is delivering results now, with a fuel savings return on investment of $18.49 for every $1 spent. 2 However, in 2024, the provincial government slashed funding by 75% — just as more fleets are looking to adopt efficiency technologies.

BCTA is calling on the BC government to reinstate annual funding to $3.5 million. Expanding the program will:

    Help more fleets reduce operating costs
    Support a cleaner, more sustainable trucking industry
    Keep BC’s economy moving while lowering emissions

Take Advantage of HDVE Rebates NOW

If you’re a BC carrier looking to lower fuel costs and future-proof your fleet, now is the time to apply for HDVE Program rebates. Up to $15,000 per truck and $50,000 per fleet is available for eligible carriers. Don’t leave money on the table—invest in fuel-saving technology today: BCTrucking.com/cleanbc-hdve-program
