Barrie, ON and the Canadian government collaborate on a battery-electric bus pilot for the city
Barrie, ON Canadian Government Battery Electric Bus Pilot
Barrie and the national Zero Emissions Transit Fund share the CAD 3.3 million price tag for the pilot. Transit officials will purchase two battery-electric buses along with chargers from two manufacturers for real-world comparisons. The pilot evaluates factors like battery performance in winter, vehicle maintenance, and driver experiences in comparison to traditional buses. A successful pilot may result in an expanded or full-fleet conversion as part of the city's 2050 net-zero goal.
