David Bradley, CEO of the Canadian Trucking Alliance and an outspoken critic of Green Shift, says the changes will do little to help the trucking industry. "The trucking industry is already making the shift to smog-free engines, ultra low-sulfur diesel fuel and proven and available GHG busting technologies and devices," he said. "What we need is a rebate program to accelerate the investment, especially during these tough economic times."
"We still end up paying significantly more tax at a time when the industry is suffering from higher fuel costs, the appreciation of the Canadian dollar, border delays and a freight recession in both the United States and parts of Canada," said Bradley. "The goal of any environmental program should be to eliminate smog and reduce GHG's as quickly as possible. The technology exists in trucking to do that and our enviroTruck program lays out a clear and efficient plan for achieving this."
