EXP is proud to support PowerON Energy Solutions as an engineering services provider on the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) electrification program. The project 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 is responsible for the complete electrification of eight bus garages. This includes designing, building, operating and maintaining all electrical infrastructure from the substation’s grid connection to the eBus chargers. As an engineering subcontractor, EXP is contributing to this comprehensive approach will cover the entire lifecycle of these systems, ensuring efficient power delivery for TTC’s electric bus fleet.
“Through our work on this project, we’re committed to delivering engineering services that contribute to an innovative system that will serve as a model for other cities looking to electrify their bus fleets,” said EXP Vice President, Business Development Kyle Henry.
As part of PowerON’s broader scope, EXP’s work includes contributing to feasibility studies, conceptual designs and preliminary design selection. EXP has been contracted by PowerON to supply services, designs, equipment specifications, material details, testing and commissioning procedures for the feasibility study and conceptual design stages.
“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 Vice President – Buildings Svetan Veliov, P. Eng.
EXP is proud to work alongside cities to achieve their sustainability goals through efficient and reimagined transit electrification and transportation infrastructure.
