In this project, Zen is supplying:
• Project management support for the AZETEC project for both the fuel cell electric trucks and fueling infrastructure
• Providing support to AMTA to ensure reporting requirements are met
• Coordinating project partners to ensure a structured approach to managing scope of work, schedule, budget, and milestone reporting

The AZETEC project is a key for both reduce emissions from the heavy-duty truck transportation sector and developing a new source of demand for Alberta’s natural resources and technical expertise. This project will provide the data, viability, and alternative green technology option needed for vehicle OEMs and truck operators to continue the exploration of new ways to support the ERA’s plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Alberta.
