How it pays
Écocamionnage pays grants toward trucking efficiency technology and toward used heavy trucks. The grant covers part of the purchase; the carrier pays for the truck or the equipment and carries the rest.
The program sits under the Quebec government's transport electrification section, and runs until 31 March 2028.
Funding your share while you wait
A grant on a truck or on efficiency equipment does not pay for the asset. The carrier still has to buy it, and in trucking, freight customers often pay 30 to 60 days after delivery, so cash is tight at exactly the moment the purchase lands.
Equipment financing covers the truck or the technology itself. Invoice factoring turns unpaid freight invoices into cash. Voxen assesses both on the carrier's revenue and statements; the Écocamionnage grant is not taken as security.

| Financing | Range | What it covers here |
|---|---|---|
| Equipment Financing | Equipment Value: $10,000 – $5,000,000 | The equipment itself, whether a machine, a truck or a heating system, financed against that equipment. |
| Invoice Factoring | Facility Size: $30,000 – $50,000,000 | Cash from unpaid customer invoices, when slow-paying customers are what makes the wait hard. |
| Bridge Loan | Loan Amount: $30,000 – $5,000,000 | A short loan for a defined gap, when you know where the money that repays it will come from. |
