National Defence, Parks Canada, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, and the Canada Border Services Agency contributed very little to meeting the government’s target of having 80% zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) in the federal fleet by 2030. Together, these four organizations account for more than half the federal fleet—10,580 vehicles out of a total of 17,260.
