Nova Bus announce a new order for two fully electric Nova Bus LFSe vehicles from the City of Brampton as part of the Canadian Consortium for Urban Transportation Research and Innovation (CUTRIC) Canada-wide Interchangeability Project.
The announcement completes the first phase of the plan to deploy electric buses in several Canadian cities, including Brampton, Vancouver, and York Region.
Nova Bus has been working with CUTRIC since 2016 on the Canada-wide project to integrate electric buses and the charging infrastructure of different manufacturers into public transit systems. The goal of the project is to help municipalities make the most of the major investments required for electric transit, including making electric buses and manufacturers’ charging stations compatible with each other. The standardization of infrastructure and equipment gives more flexibility to transport companies, according to Nova Bus.
