(April 3, 2025) – NAFA Fleet Management Association (NAFA), the vehicle fleet industry’s largest membership association, is proud to announce Patti Earley, CAFM, Fleet Fuel Manager at Florida Power & Light, as the inaugural recipient of the Tom Johnson Award. This award was created to honor the legacy of Tom Johnson, founder of the 100 Best Fleets in the Americas competition, the Green Fleet Awards, and the Green Garage Contest. The Tom Johnson Award recognizes fleet professionals who have demonstrated outstanding leadership, mentorship and long-term dedication to improving fleet operations and advancing the fleet industry.
In December 2023, the Canadian federal government finalized the Electric Vehicle Availability Standard, mandating that all new light-duty vehicles (LDVs) sold in Canada be zero-emission by 2035, with interim targets of 20% in 2026 and 60% by 2030. To assist in this transition, the Canadian government established two incentive programs for buying or leasing zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs): the iZEV Program for LDVs and the iMHZEV Program for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles.
