A Guide to Installing EV Infrastructure in Alberta's Multi-Unit Residential Buildings
Since 2017, sales of electric vehicles (EVs) in the province of Alberta have increased almost ninefold and strong and continued growth is predicted. With EVs likely to reach price parity with conventional vehicles by the mid- to late-2020s — and the federal government set to introduce sales targets to increase domestic EV supply — zero-emission vehicles are poised to dominate Canadian automobile sales over the next decade.
Urban Delivery Solutions Initiative Impact Report
In 2021, the Urban Delivery Solutions Initiative made meaningful contributions to support an efficient and low-carbon urban freight system in Canadian cities. To help businesses and fleet operators test and scale up short-haul, return-to-base ZEVs, including electric cargo bicycles, in Canadian cities, the Pembina Institute and UDSI partners developed tools and resources, and conducted research to inform public policies and best practices.
How to Lighten the Climate Load
Heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs) are one of the most challenging sectors to decarbonize. Especially challenging are the heaviest of heavy trucks, those heavy-haul trucks that weigh 53,000 kg to 63,500 kg. These are the standard tractor-trailers and long combination vehicles that are some of the most energy demanding of all on-road vehicles, travelling the farthest distances and consuming the most diesel fuel.
Building healthy cities in the doorstep-delivery era
Publication - June 17, 2021 - By Carolyn Kim, Saeed Kaddoura Around the world, cities have undergone more than one year of COVID-19-related lockdowns and stay-at-home requirements. The pandemic has dramatically changed the daily lives of citizens and how we move people and goods within cities.
A guide to electrifying urban delivery fleets in Canadian cities
Publication - April 28, 2021 - By Maddy Ewing With the publication of two new reports, Making the Case for Electric Urban Delivery Fleets in the GTHA and Making the Switch to Electric Urban Delivery Fleets in the GTHA, the Pembina Institute provides urban delivery couriers with the knowledge to better understand the considerations involved in switching to electric delivery vehicles.
Long-haul trucking fleets take emission reductions into their own hands
Freight trucks play a critical role in our society by ensuring the smooth and efficient movement of goods.
Metro Vancouver 2021 Clean Air Plan: for Climate and Health
Publication - Aug. 19, 2021 - By Tom-Pierre Frappé-Sénéclauze, Karen Tam Wu Residents of B.C.’s Lower Mainland, like people all over the world, have experienced first-hand the impacts of 1.2C of anthropogenic warming: heat dome, forest fires, irregular precipitation patterns and cold snaps. Despite previous climate plans and targets, our national and provincial greenhouse gas emissions have barely decreased: we are on track for upward of 4C of warming.
It’s time to bridge the gap between Canada’s energy future and climate targets
On November 19, the federal government introduced Bill C-12, the Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act. Its purpose is to legislate five-year targets leading up to net-zero emissions in 2050 and to create an institutional structure to ensure that those targets are achieved. In legislating a net-zero target, Canada joins other countries that have done the same including the United Kingdom, Sweden, Denmark, Hungary, New Zealand, and France.

The next frontier for climate action
Publication - Feb. 27, 2020 - By Maddy Ewing, Carolyn Kim, Janelle Lee, Cedric Smith In light of growing populations and a rapidly growing e-commerce sector, Canadian cities are developing strategies to electrify cars and trucks, implementing new tactics to manage growing curbside demand from commercial delivery vehicles, partnering with businesses to test new delivery technologies and practices, and investigating best practices from around the world to manage goods movement.
Hydrogen on the path to net-zero emissions
Publication - July 9, 2020 - By Maddy Ewing, Benjamin Israel, Tahra Jutt, Hoda Talebian, Lucie Stepanik Hydrogen is increasingly being discussed as a promising fuel that could reduce the amount of fossil fuels burned in several sectors, such as transportation and heavy industry, and help move Canada toward its goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. However, the climate advantage of hydrogen is highly dependent on how it is produced.
First stop, electric transit buses, next stop - a clean freight sector
Blog - Sept. 3, 2019 - By Maddy Ewing Photo: Toronto Transit Commission Is it just us, or has the air in Toronto seemed a little bit cleaner this summer? That could be thanks to the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC)’s first electric bus entering into service earlier this summer. While it may seem like a modest start, this is an exciting first step in the TTC’s commitment to have a 100% zero-emissions fleet by 2040, with an additional 60 electric buses expected to be added in 2020.
