The framework covers vehicles powered by hydrogen, battery-electric and diesel technologies, as well as different bus formats including single-deck, double-deck, articulated and 6×2 models. Framework agreements are designed to streamline procurement processes by allowing public buyers to purchase vehicles without conducting a full open tender.

The new site forms part of a broader investment programme combining federal and provincial funding with internal capital from the manufacturer. According to the company, the facility allows heavy-duty transit buses - including zero-emission models - to be manufactured entirely in Winnipeg, restoring a complete domestic production chain that had not been present in Canada for fifteen years.

The Newsom administration on Monday released language for a trailer bill legislation tied directly to the annual state budget regarding the Democrat's proposal to set aside $200 million to fund the new program. The language calls for the California Air Resources Board to enter into grant agreements with automakers to provide incentives for consumers to buy or lease light-duty passenger electric vehicles at the point of sale. Participating manufacturers will match the state's contributions on a one-to-one basis.

Researchers used satellite data to see how much nitrogen dioxide was in California's air between 2019 and 2023. As the number of electric cars and plug-in hybrids rose, neighbourhoods had lower NO concentrations. Everybody knows that electric cars don't emit carbon emissions because they don't burn any fuel. And while there are some studies out there that show how zero-emission cars can improve the quality of air in urban areas, they weren't always definitive.

The repositioning brings together several business units that had previously operated with a higher degree of autonomy. Quatron covers the supply of new battery-electric and hydrogen-powered trucks and buses, while Pepper focuses on the electrification of existing commercial vehicle fleets through modular battery and hydrogen conversion kits. These vehicle-related activities are complemented by Haller Technology for energy storage and infrastructure, Haller Service for financing, leasing, insurance a

The loss of the federal EV tax credits may have been a huge blow to prospective buyers, but California wants to fill that gap for its residents. Governor Gavin Newsom's proposed budget for 2026-2027, which was released on Friday, includes a "light-duty zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) incentive program" that details a one-time infusion of $200 million. According to the budget summary, this incentive program is "a critical part of the Administration's strategy to keep ZEVs affordable and accessible for all."

As New Yorkers prepare to vote, one issue quietly shapes nearly every aspect of city life: how we move. Streets, subways, buses, taxis, and for-hire vehicles do not always capture as much attention as housing or public safety, but the next mayor will have tremendous influence over the transportation systems that affect millions of residents, workers, and visitors every day.

The CEOs of Canada's top three automakers requested the elimination of the federal zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) mandate, claiming it threatens jobs and companies amid U.S. tariffs.

The opening of Ventura Systems' new office in Kobe, Japan, aims to enhance support for local bus manufacturers transitioning to zero-emission fleets.
