Passenger Automobile and Light Truck Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Reduction Technology Review

* Amendment No. 1 is raised in order to change the Region of opportunity to World.* _____________________________________ This bid solicitation cancels and supersedes previous bid solicitation number T8080-180611 dated November 18, 2019 with a closing of December 30, 2019. Passenger Automobile and Light Truck Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Reduction Technology Review The objective of this project is to fill knowledge gaps with respect to recent advanced vehicle technologies (AVT) that are emerging to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for passenger vehicles and light trucks, especially those whose costs and benefits have not been benchmarked in publicly available documents/studies such as the U.S. EPA’s Draft Technical Assessment documents. Knowledge gaps exist in Canada with respect to which technologies are available in Canada, what the up-front costs of implementing these technologies are, as well as the time it takes for consumers to recover additional cost of these technologies, considering operation in Canadian conditions. Specifically, the project must address the following questions:

What is the potential of these emerging AVTs to reduce GHG emissions, considering Canadian operating conditions and market preferences? What are the estimated costs and payback times of AVTs for consumers?

This information will support the development of Canada’s policies, strategies, and future regulatory efforts for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from passenger vehicles and light trucks. The period of the Contract is from date of Contract award (estimated October 2020) to March 31, 2021. See attached Request for Proposal (RFP)
