Transport Minister Omar Alghabra and U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg unveiled their Alternative Fuel Corridor at an event in Detroit.
The corridor is expected to run 1,400 kilometres from Quebec City to Kalamazoo, Mich., linking Montreal, Toronto and Detroit along the way.There will be 215 charging stations -- 61 between Detroit and Toronto and 154 the rest of the way -- fuelling one of the busiest passenger and trade routes between Canada and the U.S.
"This first cross-border alternative fuel corridor will help drivers to travel across the border and charge or refuel worry-free," Alghabra said in a statement after making the announcement Tuesday.
