As of 2008, New Brunswick began permitting operations on 4 lane highways. Since that time, LCV’s have proven to be a successful transportation method, and have become an important part of our industry in Atlantic Canada.
LCVs provide economic benefits to both industry and consumers, reduce fuel consumption, greenhouse gas emission and provide for safe movement of goods.
This program is evolving in cooperation with the provinces of Nova Scotia Quebec and Ontario to provide for the free movement of LCVs amongst the 4 provinces, provided the conditions of the movement within each respective province is met.
A harmonization agreement is in the final stages of completion and this guidebook may be updated once a final agreement is in place.
