MONTREAL TO CHICAGO

Electrifed Trucking -

Are We Ready?

Hilton Mississauga

Check It Out

Discussions on the potential to create a carbon free corridor from Montreal to Chicago have been underway. While some groups have identified possible opportunities and challenges, this undertaking requires a truly multi-perspective analysis to properly identify feasibility, economic opportunity and risk, environmental benefits, and business cases for implementation. To address this, a Carbon Free Corridor Working Group has been formed and a series of workshops are being conducted to educate relevant stakeholders and identify possible collaborations and funding mechanisms to properly evaluate this initiative.

OUR NEXT EVENT

TOPIC SUMMARY

The stories are out there. Big companies are making big orders for fully electrified Big Rigs.

What will that mean for Fleet Owners, for Fueling Stations, for the Power Grid? For your Business?

The University of Windsor and 360 Energy are leading a study that has been examining some of these impacts.

This January 19th Event will connect the dots as we know them - with a particular emphasis on the Ontario 401 Corridor.
