Canada promotes natural gas for vehicle fleets, C$3 carrot

Canada’s government wants fleet owners to switch to natural gas for their vehicles. And there’s a carrot — well, better yet, 3,000 Canadian dollars toward the purchase price.

The idea is to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. Natural gas power means a 21 percent cut in those gases.

The government says fleet owners will save on fuel costs as well as doing their bit for the environment.

The pilot project is targeted at urban areas in Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia.
