Canadian ZEB Database ™ Report
This report reveals that while there has been an increase in battery-electric bus and fuel-cell
electric bus promises, orders, and deployments, transit agencies will need a significant amount
of planning and support to escalate the process to meet Canada’s target of 5,000 ZEBs by 2026
OUR PROJECTS
Pan-Canadian Battery Electric Bus Demonstration & Integration Trial
This project is the first in the world to design, develop and integrate battery electric buses (BEBs)
with charging systems that can inter-operate interactively despite being made by different manufacturers.

Who We Are
Bringing Change to the Zero Emission Transit Industry
The Canadian Urban Transit Research & Innovation Consortium (CUTRIC) is a socially responsible non-profit organization that spearheads, designs, and launches technology and commercialization projects that advance next-generation zero-carbon mobility and transportation solutions across Canada.
It also develops low-cost simulation tools that help transit agencies across Canada and the United States predict how their electric buses, hydrogen fuel cell buses and autonomous smart vehicles (for first kilometre/last kilometre solutions) will operate in real-time on roads and in service.
Our Vision
We strive 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.
Our Mission
Our mission is to support the commercialization of technologies through industry-led collaborative research, development, demonstration, and integration (RDD&I) projects that bring innovative design to Canada’s low-carbon smart mobility eco-system.
How We Can Help
