Investing in infrastructure that contribute to the greening of our transport system will help Canadians choose vehicles with low carbon emissions and demonstrates the commitment of the federal government in favour of clean technologies, and reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and create jobs for the middle class.

Peter Fragiskatos, member of parliament for London North Centre, has participated today in the name of the honourable Amarjeet Sohi, minister of natural Resources of Canada, to the inauguration of a new charging station on-street electric vehicles (EVS) in London as part of the government’s plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and create good jobs for the middle class.

Designed by FLO, a subsidiary of the company AddÉnergie (a leading north american solutions and charging for EV), the terminal of London is one of 100 new charging stations that the company will install in different cities in Canada. Specially designed to be installed at the edge of urban streets, these terminals can power and charge two EVS simultaneously.

Through the innovation Programme energy, natural Resources Canada has contributed $ 6.7 million to a large project that includes this initiative and is part of the government’s plan to make the transport sector greener by investing 182,5 million for the expansion of infrastructure for EVS and vehicles to alternative fuels.

Nearly a quarter of all greenhouse gas emissions in Canada come from the transportation sector. Change our transportation system to make it cleaner and more efficient is a key element of our growth strategy of its own. The government of Canada will continue to work with the provinces and territories to the promotion of zero-emission vehicles, with the advancement of our strategy for clean energy, as well as the development of a pan-canadian framework on the clean growth and climate change, which sets out the measures to be taken to make a transition to a low-carbon future.
