BCTA is now accepting applications for Year-five of the CleanBC Heavy-duty Vehicle Efficiency (HDVE) Program. One requirement - successful completion of this free, pre-requisite training.

The CleanBC HDVE Program, funded by the Province of British Columbia, offers rebates of up to 50% of costs for eligible equipment, to a maximum of $20,000 per vehicle or $150,000 per fleet.

During the application process, 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 (GHG) emissions. Visit the CleanBC HDVE Program Guide for an updated list of eligible 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.  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.
