Title:

Electric Re-Power Pilot

Agreement Number:

912836

Agreement Value:

$500,000.00

Agreement Date:

Dec 1, 2018 - Oct 31, 2020

Description:

MTB Transit Solutions is partnering with the University of Toronto and Electrovaya to undertake a bus repowering project to convert diesel buses to electric buses for York Region Transit. With this project MTB will become the first bus repair/refurbishment company in Canada to offer diesel to electric repowering. Repowering diesel buses will extend their lifespan by up to eight years as well as support significant GHG emissions reductions, amounting to approximately 83% or more fewer emissions per bus. Repowering diesel buses with electrical capabilities will also increase rider satisfaction as electric buses are lower to the ground, roomier, do not smell like fuel, lack the vibration of diesel buses, and are almost silent.
