The Smart Car is distributed by DaimlerChrysler and uses an 800-cubic-centimetre, three-cylinder turbo diesel motor producing 41 horsepower.
The car weighs only 730 kilograms and can average less than 4.4 litres per 100 kilometres in fuel economy - about 60 miles per gallon.
The Smart's small 2.5-metre footprint has prompted Vancouver to offer drivers cheaper parking at city-owned lots.
The city of Duncan, on Vancouver Island, has created special micro-car parking spots that allow Smarts nose-in curb parking.
Hemptown Clothing Inc was founded in 1995 in response to the growing demand for environmentally friendly, socially responsible clothing.
Hemptown is developing a revolutionary biotech enzyme fiber process named CRAILAR in collaboration with Canada's National Research Council and Alberta Research Council.
