AMTA’s Kelsey Hipkin is taking us to the future for the third and final episode of our special three-part series - Trucking: Past, Present, and Future.

In our last episode, we looked at what is going on in Alberta in the present and what impacts are being made to commercial transportation.

In today’s episode, we are looking forward, literally, to the future of commercial transportation. Kelsey sits down with Jared Sayers, President and CEO of Azolla Hydrogen Ltd., and Terri Johnson, Manager, Industry Advancement with AMTA, to discuss alternative fuels, autonomous vehicles, vehicle improvements, safety improvements, and more, and how this impacts the future of commercial transportation in our province and beyond.
