GHD, a global professional services company operating in the water, transportation, environmental and energy markets, will begin providing analytical solutions for fleet decarbonization in alignment with Canada’s Greening Government Strategy. 

GHD will assist Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) in planning the transition of 40,000 Canadian federal fleet vehicles to zero-emission vehicles. The transition of the vehicles is supported through GHD’s  ZEVO (Zero Emissions Vehicle Optimization). 

ZEVO is a proprietary, optimization-focused platform that works to transform operational data into various decarbonization timeline scenarios providing the associated financial, environmental, utilities, operational and energy analysis for each scenario.

Providing Actionable, Data-Driven Insights 

The fleet, encompassing vehicles from various federal agencies, represents a significant opportunity to drive Canada’s sustainability commitments forward. Analytics from GHD ZEVO will assess key data such as vehicle utilization, idle times, fuel consumption and duty cycles which will help structure an actionable plan that will enable the federal agencies to make informed decisions on fleet right-sizing and ZEV adoption. 

The ultimate goal is to reduce fuel consumption and lower emissions in alignment with greenhouse gas targets.
