Our clients from the trucking industry are benefiting from a grant
offered by Ministère des Transports du Québec
August 2009
Here
is the helping hand some transport companies were waiting for to adopt ISAAC
Instruments’ vehicle telemetry. A grant program to improve energy
efficiency, an initiative of the Ministère des Transports du Québec,
addresses, among others, the trucking industry.
The trucking industry gets 27 000 000 $ which represents 60% of the
total budget of this initiative. This provincial program will enable a 30%
reimbursement of the admissible expenses.
The Association du Camionage Québécois (Québec’s trucking association -
ACQ) who used to claim for such measures, invites its members to take
advantage of this program. A program that truly helps the trucking industry
in its economical and environmental efforts.
