ABOUT US

The Vehicle Technology Centre was founded in 2002 as a non-profit corporation. We are governed by a volunteer board of representatives from major local manufacturers and related industry stakeholders.

Working collaboratively, the Vehicle Technology Centre works to accelerate the growth of Manitoba’s heavy equipment and vehicle (HEV) manufacturing cluster, recognizing the unique challenges and opportunities faced by these industries. The HEV cluster includes manufacturers of: urban and intercity buses, fire trucks, motor homes, recreational vehicles, trailers, agricultural and mining equipment, as well as local suppliers of related parts and components.

The Vehicle Technology Centre provides a forum for promoting industry cooperation and collaboration, identifying ways to enhance technological capacity within HEV manufacturing. Aligning the efforts of industry and academia, we contribute to the development of a workforce that embraces digital technology in specialized low volume, high value, high customization production processes.
