CUTRIC appreciates the ongoing dedication to sustainable transportation in the Canadian Federal Budget 2024. Yet, there is much more to do to sustain the progress in shifting towards zero-emission transit technologies. Read more on CUTRIC's response to the Federal Budget 2024 for further insights.
About us
The Canadian Urban Transit Research and Innovation Consortium (CUTRIC) supports projects that develop the next-generation of mobility and transportation technologies for Canadians. These advancements help grow the low-carbon and "smart" technology eco-system in the county, leading to job growth and economic development over the long-term. CUTRIC's work generates solutions that decrease fuel consumption, reduce emissions, eliminate redundancies, reduce congestion, improve the quality of life for Canadians, advance the digital integration of low-cost mobility solutions for urban, sub-urban, rural and remote communities across Canada, increase road safety and reduce road accidents. CUTRIC supports the technologies required for a 21st century low-carbon economy. CUTRIC strives to support the commercialization of technologies through industry-led collaborative research, development, demonstration/delivery, and integration (RDD&I) projects that bring innovation design to Canada's low-carbon smart mobility eco-system. Our vision is to make Canada a global leader in low-carbon smart mobility technologies across heavy-duty and light-duty platforms, including advanced transit, transportation, and integrated mobility applications.

Le passage aux autobus à zéro émission pourrait devenir plus abordable plus tôt que prévu. Après que notre équipe a réalisé un plan de mise en œuvre pour la ville de Moncton, nous avons remarqué que non seulement la taille des batteries a diminué au cours des 18 derniers mois, mais aussi leur coût. Pour cette raison, le CUTRIC met à jour l'étude initiale, bénévolement, pour mieux refléter le paysage actuel de l'industrie. Au fil du temps, nous pouvons potentiellement prédire que la différence de coût entre l'utilisation de combustibles fossiles et l'utilisation d'électricité pourrait ne pas être aussi importante que nous l'avions prévu à l'origine.

The shift to zero-emission buses may become more affordable sooner than anticipated. After our team conducted an implementation plan for the City of Moncton, we tracked industry trends in smaller-sized electric buses, variable energy densities and varying cost profiles. For this reason, CUTRIC is updating its initial study, pro bono, to better reflect the current landscape of the industry. As we go back, we can potentially predict that the cost difference between running fossil fuel buses and electric vehicles might not be as far away as we had originally expected.
