Microgreen Energy and MTB to integrate transit bus EV battery system

Microgreen Energy and MTB Transit Solutions have announced their collaboration in developing a dedicated bus-scale lithium battery system, supported by the Ontario Vehicle Innovation Network (OVIN), an initiative of the Government of Ontario, led by the Ontario Centre of Innovation (OCI), to provide a made-in-Ontario solution for electric transit buses.

The objective of this joint project is to extend Microgreen’s lithium battery integration expertise into the growing electric transit bus segment, and to leverage MTB’s scale and experience in refurbishing diesel transit buses to establish a cost-effective alternative platform that combines an extended-life chassis with a latest technology clean-energy propulsion system.

Our government is proud to support collaborations between businesses like Microgreen Energy and MTB Transit Solutions, who are developing clean energy options for electric transit buses,” said Vic Fedeli, Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade. “This innovative joint project will have a positive impact on the growing electric transit bus sector, while also ensuring Ontario remains a global leader in the auto and EV sector.

Our government understands that transit bus electrification is no longer just a pilot-scale undertaking,” said Caroline Mulroney, Minister of Transportation and Francophone Affairs. “Along with the historic investments our government is making in building the vehicles and transit infrastructure of the future, we are proud to support the development of the supply chain feeding next-generation transportation technology that will transform the way we travel while furthering our position as a leader in the automotive technology space.

Ontario has more than 300 companies and organizations pioneering connected and autonomous vehicle technologies.
