Title: ecoTECHNOLOGY for Vehicles (eTV)

(Our FIELD REPORTER is standing outside, in front of parked cars. He addresses the camera.)

Here at this test facility, Transport Canada’s eTV program is putting advanced vehicle technologies through their paces.

eTV stands for ecoTECHNOLOGY for Vehicles: you know… hybrids, electric vehicles, hydrogen fuel cells, advanced gasoline and diesel engines… all designed to reduce our impact on the environment.

It’s an intensive process. Researchers do lab tests to measure things like fuel efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions. Then there are the road tests to see how the cars hold up in a typical Canadian climate.

Results provide valuable information about how these new technologies will perform in Canada, and what this means for Canadians.

So why go to all this effort? Because more than 25 percent of Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions are caused by transportation.

eTV is encouraging the introduction of innovative clean technologies to help reduce these emissions and encourage a more sustainable Canadian transportation system.

(Our FIELD REPORTER is standing outside, in front of parked cars. He addresses the camera.)

To learn more about new vehicle technologies that will soon be available in Canada, visit the eTV website at www.tc.gc.ca/eTV. Be informed. Be sustainable. And be ready to test drive the future!
