EXP has been selected by PowerON Energy Solutions as an engineering services provider on the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) electrification program.
The TTC electrification program will electrify eight TTC bus garages over the next 15 years to reach a zero-emissions fleet by 2040. With over 2,000 buses comprising its fleet, TTC has the largest fleet of public transit vehicles in Canada and this project will set a new standard for sustainable urban transportation.
PowerON will be responsible for the electrification of eight bus garages. This includes designing, building, operating and maintaining all electrical infrastructure from the substation’s grid connection to the eBus charging pantographs, a device on the roof of the bus that connects to an overhead charging system. EXP is responsible for supplying engineering services, designs, equipment specifications, material details, testing and commissioning procedures for the feasibility study and conceptual design stages. EXP will support PowerON’s comprehensive approach to covering the entire lifecycle of these systems, ensuring efficient power delivery for TTC’s electric bus fleet.
“Our team is proud to work on a project that builds the foundation for a more sustainable public transportation system in Toronto. Alongside PowerON, we’re excited about the challenges and opportunities this electrification project presents for our team and the City of Toronto,” said Svetan Veliov, P. Eng., vice president – Buildings
