What is "ecoauto"

The EcoAuto Rebate Program is a Canadian government program administered by Transport Canada to provide incentive to people to buy fuel-efficient vehicles, to protect the environment, through rebates. The program applies to vehicles purchased between March 20, 2007 and December 31, 2008.

It is part of the Canadian government's overall Vehicle Efficiency Incentive (VEI), which also includes a levy or excise tax on vehicles deemed to be fuel-inefficient and the Retire Your Ride scrappage program.
