History

The concept of a national green fleet rating system, now known as E3, emerged out of an informal meeting between fleet managers, the Fraser Basin Council and fleet program representatives in September 2004. The simple observation was made that, while there are green building rating systems such as LEED®, there is nothing similar for commercial vehicle fleets.

The incredible success and national market impact of the LEED® program on greening commercial buildings across Canada led to the hallway question – could the concept of analysis, review and rating be applied to a very different sector with more dynamic changing characteristics, namely, fleets? The conclusion was yes. But such a system had to be built from scratch and would be costly.

Two years later, E3 has launched as a program initiative of the Fraser Basin Council.

The Council would like to thank the following organizations who contributed to the development of E3:

Many people actively contributed to the development of the system. These include Jim Vanderwal and Terry Robert from FBC, Dennis Rogoza and Hugh Roberts from Rogoza Consulting (Victoria), Mark Holland and Peter Russell from Holland Barrs Planning Group (Vancouver), Roger Smith (Toronto), Roy Craigen from TRANSCOM Fleet Services (Edmonton), John Rilett from Climate Change Central (Calgary) and Ken Fryer (Fleet Supervisor, City of Coquitlam).

A special thanks goes to members of the BC Municipal Fleet Managers Association who played a vital role in supporting and encouraging the development of E3 and in providing detailed comments on system design.
