TORONTO — Winners of this year's Clean Fleet Awards are collectively saving an estimated $25 million annually in fuel costs and reducing oil consumption by approximately 250,000 barrels a year, demonstrating the financial benefits of going electric.
Announced last night by Electric Autonomy Canada and the Pembina Institute, the awards recognize businesses putting electric vehicles to work across Canada, from delivery trucks and freight transport to waste collection and shared mobility.
“Fleets are showing that going electric makes good business sense. Across a range of industries, they’re reducing fuel costs and proving that electric vehicles can meet the demands of everyday operations. Their success offers a valuable example for other Canadian businesses considering the switch,” said Taylor Walker, senior analyst on Pembina Institute’s transportation team.
Purolator received the top honour, the Grand Overall Award, for its achievements in fleet electrification. In 2025, the company delivered more than seven million packages using electric vehicles. Since 2022, it has expanded its electric fleet to more than 550 vehicles across multiple classes, with charging infrastructure installed at 17 sites. Its achievements show how electric vehicles can support large-scale commercial delivery operations.
Quebec-based Nationex received the Leadership Award for helping advance electric freight transportation. In less than two years, the company has delivered more than 3.5 million parcels using electric vehicles, deployed more than 130 electric vehicles and established a fully electric freight corridor between Montreal and Quebec City. Its success highlights the growing role of electric vehicles in regional freight and parcel delivery.
