TORONTO, April 17, 2019 /CNW/ - The Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers' Association (CVMA) issued the following statement regarding today's Government of Canada announcement:
The Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers' Association (CVMA) welcomes the Government of Canada's commitment to invest $300 million over 3 years to support the purchase of zero-emission vehicles. This consumer incentive is critical to increased zero-emission vehicle adoption in Canada which, over time, will lead to decreased GHGs from the transportation sector.
