FY 2018-19 · 2018-12-01
Summary
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.

Description (French)
MTB Transit Solutions, en partenariat avec l'Université de Toronto et Electrovaya, entreprend un projet de réalimentation d'autobus visant à convertir les autobus diesel en autobus électriques pour York Region Transit. Grâce à ce projet, MTB deviendra la première entreprise de réparation / réhabilitation d’autobus au Canada à offrir du diesel à la réalimentation électrique. La réalimentation des bus diesel prolongera leur durée de vie jusqu’à huit ans et favorisera une réduction significative des émissions de gaz à effet de serre, soit environ 83% ou moins d’émissions par bus. La réalimentation des autobus diesel avec des capacités électriques augmentera également la satisfaction des passagers car les autobus électriques sont plus bas, plus spacieux, ne sentent pas le carburant, ont moins de vibrations que les autobus diesel et sont presque silencieux.
