New! BCTA will be accepting applications for CleanBC Heavy-duty Vehicle Efficiency (HDVE) Program Incentives from February 3 to 21, 2020. One requirement – successful completion of this free, one-day course.

The CleanBC HDVE Program, funded by the Province of British Columbia, offers rebates for up to 30 to 50 percent of eligible costs for equipment, to a maximum of $10,000 per vehicle or $100,000 per fleet.

During the February application period, BC carriers who complete this course may apply for rebates on approved fuel-efficiency equipment that promises documented savings in fuel usage and decreased greenhouse gas emissions. Eligible equipment includes wide-based single tires (445mm or wider), APUs, selected aerodynamic devices and engine or fuel system modifications. Visit the CleanBC HDVE Program Guide, for an updated list of eligible fuel-efficiency equipment.

A BCTA membership is not required. The primary goal of Program Incentive distribution is to reduce GHG emissions from heavy-duty on-road commercial vehicles. Incentive applications are open to all BC-based carriers, including owner-operators. And, BCTA will distribute Program Incentives among eligible applicants in a way that supports diversification across provincial regions as well as motor carrier types and fleet size.

Carriers may apply for CleanBC HDVE Program Incentives from February 3 to 21, 2020. The following eligibility requirements apply:

• Companies must have one or more heavy-duty commercial vehicles (GVW greater than 11,794 kg) that is licensed and insured to operate in BC, conducts business in BC and has a terminal located in BC.
• At least one company representative must successfully complete this free, one-day course prior to applying for incentives.
• Rebates are not retroactive; fleets cannot apply for incentives for equipment they have already purchased.
