One of the facilities will be located at an existing gas station in the Nipigon area.
The others will be established along Highway 11 at Hearst and Cochrane.
Natural Resources Canada is contributing $3 million for the project to fuel delivery service provider Envoy Energy.
The three stations will include on-site storage and easy-to-use dispensers for use by heavy-duty truck drivers.
According to a government news release, the initiative is aimed at helping the trucking industry switch from diesel to compressed natural gas, or CNG.
