Canada's transportation system needs to be efficient, accessible, reliable and clean. It is important for our economy and our way of life – for getting goods and people where they need to be, when they need to be there. However, our transportation system can also have a significant impact on the environment.

Transport Canada's ecoTECHNOLOGY for Vehicles (eTV) program is helping to reduce the environmental impacts of passenger vehicles by making sure that the latest clean vehicle technologies become available safely and quickly in Canada. eTV does this by working with manufacturers to acquire and test and to address barriers to the introduction of new passenger vehicle technologies in Canada.  

eTV's test results also help inform the development of regulations, codes and standards for the next generation of advanced vehicles, including electric, fuel cell and plug-in electric hybrid vehicles, among others. Results help Canadians to better understand the benefits of new technologies -- highlighting their environmental performance and accelerating their acceptance in Canada.
