The CleanBC Heavy-duty Vehicle Efficiency (HDVE) Program helps carriers save money and reduce their carbon footprint by providing rebates of up to $15,000 per vehicle and $50,000 per fleet towards the purchase and installation of approved fuel-efficient equipment.

Funded by the Government of BC and administered by the BC Trucking Association (BCTA), the CleanBC HDVE Program is designed to promote sustainable transportation practices, reduce emissions, and provide economic benefits to carriers. $1 million of funds will be available as rebates for Year-six of the Program which will run until August 31, 2025, or until the funds are fully allocated, whichever comes first.

Eligibility

To be eligible for program incentives, BCTA membership is not required. Companies must meet the full eligibility criteria that are available in the HDVE Program Guide, including: 

• At least one company representative must have successfully completed the CleanBC Heavy-duty Vehicle Efficiency Program Course at least once between August 1, 2023 - August 31, 2025
• The incentives must be for eligible equipment to be installed on a heavy-duty vehicle (or vehicles) with a gross vehicle weight (GVW) greater than 7,257 kg and operated in BC
• All qualifying equipment being applied for must be purchased and installed in BC
• The company must conduct business in BC and have at least one terminal in BC
• The company must have a current National Safety Code (NSC) certificate with a “satisfactory” rating (note: it does not have to be a BC-issued NSC and rental companies are not required to have an NSC)

STEP 1: Complete the CleanBC HDVE Program Course

Applicants must also successfully complete the free, pre-requisite CleanBC HDVE Program Course that describes the benefits of using different fuel-saving technologies and practices for the NSC company the vehicle(s) included in the application are registered under. This half-day course, which is offered by webinar and in-person, teaches participants the importance of why truck and motor coach fleets of any size should have a fuel management program that focuses on driver training, benchmarking, adoption of fuel-saving equipment, and fleet turnover, including consideration of alternative fuel options. Course registration is free.
