City of Vancouver: Gold-Rated Fleet (2009)

The City of Vancouver is one of just two municipalities in British Columbia to earn an E3 Gold Rating – an honour it received in 2009 alongside the Corporation of Delta. “Our Engineering Services staff are to be congratulated for taking multiple steps to improve fleet efficiency by 4% and cut overall emissions by 0.4% between 2006 and 2008,” said Mayor Gregor Robertson. Those steps included employing the right vehicles for each fleet function, assessing the full lifecycle costs of each vehicle purchased, testing alternative fuels, adopting new technologies and piloting such practices as nitrogen tire inflation and engine control module reprogramming. Vancouver had also purchased medium-duty hybrid electric trucks, which are cleaner, more energy-efficient vehicles and new to Canadian roads. “Greening our fleets will be a key part of reducing transportation emissions in BC,” said Minister of State for Climate Action John Yap when the award was announced. “By securing Canada’s first Gold E3 fleet rating, the City of Vancouver and Corporation of Delta have achieved a major milestone in reducing their transportation emissions as they move towards being carbon-neutral cities.” To learn more about the sustainability practices of the City of Vancouver’s fleet, visit the City’s fleet webpage. |

E3 Fleet PartnersThe E3 Fleet program reflects the commitment and expertise of many people, including some of the country’s most innovative fleet managers. All have a common passion – to see Canada’s fleets take a cleaner, green road to the future. The Fraser Basin Council launched E3 Fleet in 2006 in cooperation with Climate Change Central (Alberta) and Fleet Challenge. Since October 2016, the program has been managed by Richmond Sustainability Initiatives (RSI). The E3 Fleet Charter members were also pivotal to its success: Auto-Gas Propane, BC Hydro, BC Ministry of Environment, City of Coquitlam, Corporation of Delta, Enbridge, City of Hamilton, Hydro One, City of Kelowna, Township of Langley, District of Maple Ridge, City of North Vancouver, Novex Couriers, City of Prince George, District of Saanich, University of BC and Municipality of Whistler. We’ve enjoyed the journey so far, and it’s only just begun. Join us! |
