(LANGLEY, BC)The BC Trucking Association (BCTA) is proud to announce the second edition of Zeroing in on ZEV, a groundbreaking summit showcasing the latest advancements in low- and zero-emission commercial vehicles. Scheduled for February 21, 2024, the free event will feature an impressive display of over 16 medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, making it the largest gathering of its kind in Canada.
Building on the success of the last event, which boasted 11 vehicles, Zeroing in on ZEV aims to highlight the significant strides the trucking industry is making toward a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future. BCTA remains at the forefront of promoting innovative solutions and fostering collaboration within the industry.
