ZEBTEC #4: Strengthening the ZEB Supply Chain: Industrial R&D and Federal Investment Strategy
A resilient zero-emission future requires a secure domestic supply chain. This session addresses the geopolitical and industrial challenges facing the ZEB sector, from critical mineral sourcing to domestic assembly capacity. We will analyze the impact of recent Federal investment strategies and trade policies (including CUSMA/USMCA implications) on Canadian manufacturing competitiveness. Stakeholders from government and industry […]
ZEBTEC #3: International perspectives on Hydrogen Fuel Cell Bus deployment
While battery-electric remains dominant, Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Buses (FCEBs) are proving essential for long-range and high-intensity routes. This session benchmarks Canada’s progress—specifically the Pan-Canadian Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Bus Demonstration—against mature hydrogen ecosystems in Europe and California. Discussion topics include the economics of green vs. blue hydrogen production, the technical challenges of on-site fueling […]
ZEBTEC #2: From “testing grounds” to scalable models: Pilot projects and EaaS considerations
Transit agencies are moving from small-scale pilots of 2–4 buses to full-fleet electrification, requiring a complete paradigm shift in infrastructure planning. This session explores the financial and logistical leap required to scale, with a special focus on Energy as a Service (EaaS) models. We will examine how third-party ownership of charging infrastructure can de-risk public investment, reduce […]
ZEBTEC #1: The Great Transition: Lessons from a Half-Decade of Deployment
As Canada approaches the 2026 milestone for zero-emission transit adoption, this session unpacks the hard-won data and operational realities of the last five years. Moving beyond theoretical modeling, we analyze empirical performance data from transit agencies that were early adopters of Battery Electric Buses (BEBs). Panelists will discuss the divergence between predicted vs. actual range, […]
ACTI #4: Hydrogen fuel cell innovation: Stack degradation, Powertrain performance and Hydrogen supply chain gaps
This event is the fourth installment in the ACTI 2026 series. Bringing together leading academic researchers and industry experts, this session will explore the critical technical and logistical challenges of deploying Fuel Cell Electric Buses (FCEBs). Under the theme of Hydrogen Fuel Cell Innovation, discussions will center on: Stack Degradation: Analyzing the wear-and-tear of fuel cell components […]
ACTI #3: Canada’s Economic Productivity Gap and its Connection to Transit Innovation
This session connects macro-economic trends with public transit, analyzing how investments in transit innovation can help close Canada’s productivity gap. Topics may include the economic benefits of efficient mobility (reduced congestion, better labor market access) and how cutting-edge transit technologies drive broader economic growth and competitiveness.
ACTI #2: Battery Thermal Events and Degradation
Focused on the safety and longevity of electric transit buses, this webinar examines the technical challenges of battery thermal runaway (fire risks) and degradation (capacity loss over time). Experts will discuss the latest research in battery management systems (BMS), safety protocols, and technologies designed to predict and prevent thermal incidents while maximizing battery lifespan.
