The government of Nova Scotia has committed to invest $4.25 million CAD ($3.98 million USD) in transportation green initiatives. The investment will come from the ecoNova Scotia Clean Air and Climate Change fund. Nearly half of the investment will be allocated to pilot projects to implement fuel efficient heavy truck technology. According to the government, $1 million CAD ($930,000 USD) will fund the purchase of heavy-duty hybrid vehicles, including bucket trucks and other fleet vehicles. Another $1 million CAD ($930,000 USD) will go towards the adoption of anti-idling devices, aerodynamic improvements, fuel-efficient, wide-base tires, and other fuel-reducing technologies for trucks.
