London, Ontario - Electric and alternative fuel vehicles play a key role in Canada’s low-carbon future. As Canadians continue to make greener choices, our government is giving them more options to drive cleaner.
Member of Parliament for London North Centre, Peter Fragiskatos, on behalf of Canada’s Minister of Natural Resources, the Honourable Amarjeet Sohi, today announced a $3-million investment in Clean Energy Fuels Corp. and Union Energy Solutions Limited Partnership for three compressed natural gas (CNG) stations in Ontario.
The stations, which have each received $1 million in funding, are located in London, Napanee and Windsor and will enable heavy-duty truck fleets to confidently travel along Ontario’s Highway 401.
The funding is part of our government’s $182.5-million total investment to develop a coast-to-coast charging network for electric vehicles and to establish natural gas stations along key transportation routes and stations for hydrogen-powered vehicles in metropolitan centres.
Through Canada’s national energy dialogue,
Generation Energy, Canadians made it clear that the transition to electric vehicles and alternative fuels is not a luxury but a necessity for Canada’s low-carbon future.
