Come meet and hear from the team that developed this battery electric school bus conversion. There will be a design presentation with Q&A followed by a viewing and possible rides around campus in the prototype.
Hear about the design and development challenges when converting an existing vehicle to zero emission technology including heating a large passenger compartment in Manitoba winter weather. Their learnings could apply to new battery electric vehicle design in addition to conversion projects.
