AJAC EcoRun

The AJAC EcoRun

One of AJAC's signature events, EcoRun showcases a wide range of eco-friendly vehicles from across the country with Canada's top automotive journalists.

Each year, EcoRun takes on a new region or area across Canada. With a newer format to better address Canadian drivers, our journalists tackle multiple driving legs in a single day, swapping vehicles to score the best efficiency ratings with participating vehicles. EcoRun hosts numerous additional activities that are educational challenges such as EV-mode acceleration test for hybirds, acceleration overloads, 1% challenges in an EV and an EV "relay race" including a mandatory public charging stop in the area. The event structure aims at increasing potential coverage while also offering more teachable moments to readers and viewers.
