Together, the 26 shortlisted fleets drive more than 51 million electric kilometres annually and are integral to company operations

All across Canada, small, medium and large fleets are making the move to electrification.  

The Canadian Clean Fleet Awards is a new annual program designed to recognize the companies that are making real change on the road, along with the partners who got them there. The program was launched by Electric Autonomy, in partnership with Pembina Institute.

“What’s amazing about this program is that we get a data-driven snapshot of how leading Canadian companies are scaling electrification,” says awards organizer Ilana Weitzman, VP of Strategic Development, Clean Transportation at Electric Autonomy. “Some of the numbers surprised us. While we expected a large number of electric vans and light vehicles in operation, the shortlist also includes a combined 129 heavy-duty, Class 7-8 vehicles.

Across the 26 finalists, their fleets drive a combined 51.4 million all-electric kilometres annually, demonstrating the capabilities of EVs in real-world commercial environments.

“All Canadians benefit from the emissions reductions, often right in our neighbourhoods, but the fleets have also shared robust financial benefits,” explains Weitzman. This includes significant fuel savings and revenue from carbon compliance credit generation. “The revenue benefits associated with electrification, for some fleets, is in the millions of dollars.”

Winners of the Canadian Clean Fleet Awards will be announced at a gala event in Mississauga on November 4. Tickets and information on the awards program are available at cleanfleets.ca.
