Zenobē, a global fleet electrification and battery storage specialist headquartered in London, and the City of Brampton, Ontario, are leading a group of U.K.- and Canada-based partners in launching a C$4 billion ($3 billion) collaboration to electrify the Brampton Transit bus fleet.
The initiative will bring C$1 billion ($728 million) foreign investment into Canada, strengthening business ties between the United Kingdom and Canada. It marks the first phase of a 10-year electrification framework serving Toronto’s largest suburb and supporting the transition to a zero-emission public transit system.
The Brampton project is one of the largest zero-emission bus programs in North America. The partnership intends to bring 1,000 electric buses to the roads and replace the city’s existing diesel vehicles. It will initially support current routes and ridership numbers of more than 40 million passengers annually, with the first phase of the project’s infrastructure expect
