This event demonstrates the Region’s joint efforts to accelerate the hydrogen economy and drive the 5,000 Hydrogen Vehicle Challenge forward.

Now is the time to establish the Edmonton Region as a leader in hydrogen. Everyone can play a role in the 5,000 Hydrogen Vehicle Challenge and help to decarbonize Western Canada's commercial transportation sector. Adding one of YEG's Toyota Mirais to your fleet could be the first step to meeting your sustainability goals.
