[...] Challenges and opportunities for ZEV deployment Recognizing the complexity of the ZEV transition, Pembina Institute conducted an in- depth academic and non-academic literature review to identify short- and long-term barriers that could impede decarbonization efforts and progress toward a ZEV transition. [...] On the other hand, many HDVs, especially long-haul trucks will take longer to transition given the scale and cost of deploying a network of publicly available charging and refueling stations and the need for more commercially available models capable of performing rigorous duty-cycles. [...] • Where agencies will need to establish training for existing staff, there is a dearth of programs at universities and institutions to train the next generation of workers in the transit and bus sector. [...] Conclusion As a preliminary step in the Pembina Institute’s ongoing work to develop a strategy to help Canada achieve its announced ZE MHDV sales targets, this report has assessed the current state of progress in Canada, the myriad decarbonization challenges and opportunities for MHDVs, and the policy tools being used globally to advance a ZE MHDV transition.
