1. Background of the Request for Information
The Government of Canada has committed to transition to low-carbon and climate-resilient operations while also reducing environmental impacts beyond carbon. The Greening Government Strategy articulates an ambitious set of goals and commitments to ensure that Canada is a global leader in government operations that are low-carbon, resilient and green. This includes reducing greenhouse gas emissions from federal government facilities and fleets by 40% below 2005 levels by 2030 (with an aspiration to achieve this target by 2025) and 80% below 2005 levels by 2050 (with an aspiration to be carbon neutral). To achieve this target, the government is adopting low-carbon mobility solutions, deploying supporting infrastructure in its facilities, and modernizing its fleet. The Strategy commits to ensuring 75% of new light-duty unmodified fleet vehicle purchases are zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) or hybrids and ensuring that the government’s light-duty administrative fleet comprises at least 80% ZEVs by 2030. ZEVs include battery electric, plug-in hybrid, and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. The government has also established innovative programs - such as the Greening Government Fund and Innovative Solutions Canada - that can support the purchase, testing and use of innovative, low-carbon vehicle solutions.
The federal government is also working to reduce emissions from other parts of its fleet and is interested in exploring HEV and ZEV options for its commercial vehicles, such as medium and heavy duty trucks.
2. Purpose of the Request for Information
Public Service and Procurement Services Canada (PSPC) is launching a Request for Information (RFI) in order to seek information and feedback from suppliers and the industry with regard to the availability of Electric, hybrid and Alternative Fuel Powertrain Medium and Heavy Duty Trucks, as described herein.

3. Nature of the Request for Information
This is not a bid solicitation. This RFI will not result in the award of any contract. As a result, potential suppliers of any goods or services described in this RFI should not reserve stock or facilities, nor allocate resources, as a result of any information contained in this RFI. Nor will this RFI result in the creation of any source list. Therefore, whether or not any potential supplier responds to this RFI, this will not preclude that supplier from participating in any future procurement. Also, the procurement of any of the goods and services described in this RFI will not necessarily follow this RFI. This RFI is simply intended to solicit information and feedback from industry with respect to the matters described in this RFI.
Nothing in this RFI will be construed as a commitment from PSPC to issue a solicitation for this project. PSPC may use non-proprietary information provided in this review and/or in the preparation of any formal solicitation document.
PSPC will not be bound by anything stated herein and reserves the right to change at any time, any or all parts of the requirement, as it deems necessary.
