OTTAWA — The deadline for submitting applications for NRCan funding of purchases and installation of SmartWay-certified equipment is fast approaching.

October 30, 2009 is the last day the government will take proposals.

This will enable FleetSmart to gather information on the use of these technologies in a Canadian context. Only approved devices, listed by manufacturer and product code, are eligible.

Known technologies under SmartWay include aerodynamic devices or low rolling resistant tires.

The federal government can reimburse up to 50 percent of the project total value to a maximum of $100,000. Eligible expenses include data collection and reporting which is a requirement of the funding.
