A stellar line up of rail industry experts at our upcoming conference
With just over one month to go, our Smart Rail Innovation Conference is shaping up to be Canada’s hottest rail industry conference.
Despite its rich history and significant economic contribution, the Canadian rail industry seems to be trailing behind its global counterparts in terms of innovation. A comprehensive review of global innovation in the rail sector indicates that Canada lags behind many developed and developing nations in implementing key technologies like driverless train controls, hydrogen propulsion, 5G rail connectivity, and inductive and track-based electrification systems.
These circumstances make conversations about rail innovation in Canada not only timely but critical. The future of rail is pivotal to sustainable development, post-pandemic recovery, and decarbonization efforts.
Our rail industry experts will be diving into the lessons learned from global rail innovation strategies and where Canada stands in terms of rail investments and technology.

Decarbonizing the west: Alberta Municipality Constellation Project
CUTRIC is working with FortisAlberta on an Alberta Municipality Constellation project.
With the inevitable rollout of electric fleets across the country by 2040, there is no doubt that the future energy demand will impact current grid infrastructure and stability.
This project will provide a comprehensive study that informs the procurement and deployment of zero emission buses and the future energy demands across nine transit agencies in Alberta.
This $550 092 project is a combined investment from Infrastructure Canada's Zero Emission Transit Fund, Ontario Society of Professional Engineers and FortisAlberta.

Grand River Transit launches first battery electric bus
Grand River Transit is getting eleven, fully electric, 40-foot buses – and new charging units – after a combined investment of more than $15.1 million in two projects from the federal and provincial governments, along with the Regional Municipality of Waterloo.
Six chargers have been installed at the Northfield maintenance facility; buses can be fully charged in about four hours, the region says. The 11 new electric buses cost a total of about $15.1 million, offset by federal and provincial funding of more than $11 million, as MPs and MPPs reaffirmed their governments' continued funding for a green economy.

Electrify the Road Ahead: Unveiling CUTRIC's EBus Phase Two Journey,
The first phase of our world-first Pan-Canadian Battery Electric Bus Integration and Demonstration Trial was a huge success in proving the effectiveness and capabilities of interoperability between different bus and charger manufacturers.
In this webinar, we will dive into the lessons learned and successes gained during the first phase of this project. We will also be sharing some exciting news and information on the second phase of this project and how your organization could get involved.
