Hydrogen Commercial Vehicle Demonstration Program

Thank you for your interest in AMTA’s Hydrogen Commercial Vehicle Demonstration Program. Through this project, AMTA – in collaboration with its project partners – will lead Canada’s first heavy-duty alternative fuel demonstrations. Alberta-based commercial carriers will have the opportunity to test commercial vehicles that operate with alternative, energy-efficient fuels within their regular business operations. This pilot, which operates from late 2022 through 2024, is jointly funded by Natural Resources Canada (NRC) and Prairies Economic Development Canada (PrairiesCan) and will help Canada reach its 2030 net-zero emissions goals. Learn more at amta.ca/innovation-projects.

AMTA will review all applications to ensure eligibility. Space is limited. AMTA membership is required to participate in the trials.
