The Clean & Prosperous Institute recently led a Study Mission delegation visit to Québec City and Montréal, to learn from government ministries and private businesses about Québec’s experience with Cap-and-Invest implementation, and how it has catalyzed...
“We’re not sure about electrifying our fleet this year.” “We want to go electric, but don’t know where to start.” “We’re ready to go… we just need an action plan.” Fleet managers know that electric vans, trucks, and semis are more efficient to operate and maintain,...
