Harbinger Launches Sales in Canada
Medium-duty electric and hybrid vehicle manufacturer Harbinger has announced its products are now available for purchase across all provinces and territories in the Canadian market, accepting orders through Safetek Specialty Vehicles. Harbinger's electric step vans platform are the first of its vehicles available in the country with more models to follow. CEO John Harris said, "The need for EV options is amplified in Canada, where federal EV mandates are more aggressive. Our vehicles not only help Canadian companies meet these mandates, but they are also best-in-class medium-duty vehicles."
Canada's EV policies include federal mandates for zero-emission vehicles to make up 35% of total new medium- and heavy-duty vehicles sales by 2030 and 100% by 2040. Additionally, Canada's iMHZEV incentive program offers $75,000 per Class 4 and 5 vehicle, and $100,000 for Class 6, along with 50% funding for hybrid range extended vehicles. Trucks are the fastest-growing segment in Canada's EV market, valued in 2024 at $15.8 billion CAD and projected to grow to $40.8 billion CAD by 2030.
The Mobility House and Itron Announce Project in New York
The Mobility House, a global leader in smart charging and energy management solutions, and Itron, Inc. are beginning a groundbreaking project in New York State to implement technology to accelerate fleet electrification. This initiative, supported by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), will use cutting-edge flexible service connections to address distribution system capacity to prevent delays in fleet charging. The demonstration will integrate Itron's IntelliFLEX DERMS solution, which is part of its Grid Edge Intelligence portfolio, with automated load management (ALM) from The Mobility House's ChargePilot® charge management system (CMS), enabling fleets to operate efficiently while reducing, or even eliminating, the need for costly and time-intensive infrastructure upgrades and maximize the utilization of existing distribution infrastructure. This will be the first implementation of these integrated technologies to address distribution level constraints as a barrier to fleet electrification.

Accelerating Zero-Emission Adoption with HVIP & CORE
The Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts (LACSD) isare demonstrating how incentive programs like the Clean Truck and Bus Incentive Project (HVIP) and the Clean Off-Road Equipment Incentive Project (CORE) can drive real-world results in both on-road and off-road applications. Through incentives, LACSD has been able to deploy 19 pieces of zero-emission equipment, vehicles, and charging infrastructure for its facilities. Critically, itthey cite how these upgrades have streamlined operations, reduced emissions, and improved equipment utilization.
Watch LACSD's story to see how advanced zero-emissions technologies are delivering powerful results.
