WINNIPEG, Man. — The Manitoba Trucking Association (MTA) is now accepting applications for the second phase of its GrEEEn (Economic and Environmentally Efficient) Trucking Program.

The GrEEEn Trucking program offers incentives on green technologies, such as low rolling resistance tires, aerodynamic tractors and trailers, trailer side skirts, auxiliary power units, and tractor-trailer gap fairings.

The MTA, together with Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation, the Centre for Sustainable Transportation, and the University of Manitoba Transport Institute, launched the program’s first phase in the spring.
