Détails sur l'objet

Politique ou Programme

• Recognize that the transition to zero-emissions transportation, including battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell electric transit, coach and rail systems, will require an energy “systems overhaul of entire fleets and infrastructural systems, meaning that incentives and funding programs designed and launched by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), Infrastructure Canada (IC), and/or Transport Canada will need to support coordinated energy systems integration efforts (i.e. both vehicle and fuelling ends of the equation) with consortia of partners to be effective, immediate and long-term from an economic sustainability standpoint. 1) Recognize that fleet adoption – specifically heavy duty vehicle fleet adoption in the public sector, including bus, coach and rail systems – offers more immediate and substantial emissions reductions opportunities for taxpayers compared to individual passenger car incentives over the next four year period.
• The Government of Canada must launch the development of a robust Canadian Transportation Innovation & Industrial Development Strategy. The Strategy would require a “hub” marriage between Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), Infrastructure Canada, Innovation, Science and Industry and Environment Canada, and Transport Canada on the transportation innovation file. The Strategy should be launched with a federal Task Force with the support of Members of Parliament, mobility manufacturers, integrators, fleets/transit systems, and alternative fuel providers to generate programming aimed at future low-carbon smart mobility infrastructure integration, innovation and technological advancement in transportation.

Politique ou Programme, Règlement

• Within Canadian Transportation Innovation & Industrial Development Strategy, Canada needs to identify a clear mandate for Alternative Propulsion & Smart Mobility Innovation focusing on mechanisms that create IP and new jobs in the low-carbon transportation innovation industry, building globally relevant large scale integration trials and industry-academic collaborations through innovation consortia for alternative propulsion and smart vehicle technologies in shared mobility systems applications (e.g. public transit and shared private fleets). This Strategy must include battery electric propulsion and charging systems (heavy-duty and light-duty; vehicular and rail-based), hydrogen fuel cell electric propulsion systems and fuelling systems (heavy-duty and light-duty; vehicular and rail-based), renewable natural gas propulsion and fuelling systems (heavy-duty and light-duty; vehicular and rail-based), and automated and connected vehicle systems for public fleet systems applied to heavy- and light-duty vehicles, including bus, coach, and rail.

Politique ou Programme, Subvention, Contribution ou autre avantage financier

• Support CUTRIC’s application to Fedev Ontario to ensure the federal government invests $10M in start-up seed financing for the development of a cutting edge (and publicly-controlled) ACES Big Data Trust (“Autonomous, Connected, Electric & Shared” Big Data Trust), which would ensure standardized data collection, aggregation, sharing and use for optimized decision-making for fleet procurements of electric, hydrogen electric, and autonomous, i.e. “smart”, transportation fleets across Canada. The ACES Big Data Trust will help to reduce taxpayer losses due to inefficient and unempirical procurement decision-making across Canada’s public fleets, by ensuring public fleet procurement bodies and agencies have access to the real-time, accurate, precise and immediately accessible performance data they need to hold manufacturers to account and assess performance of vehicles procured once in fleet. The ACES Big Data Trust will optimize the use of tax dollars invested in public fleets across the heavy-duty sector of vehicles, including buses, rail, coaches and municipal heavy-duty service vehicles.
• Support CUTRIC’s framework development for a public-private partnership model (CUTRIC’s “Innovation P3” model©) that improves transit by moving people more efficiently across Canada using the most cutting edge zero-emissions technology projects available worldwide. CUTRIC’s Innovation P3 model recognizes there is a limit to government grants for emission reducing technology innovation and systems integration. Innovation P3s will support the launch of innovative transit electric transit, hydrogen fuel cell transit, and autonomous “smart” shuttle projects through CUTRIC across Canada. This initiative should benefit from the philosophical and financial support of the Infrastructure Bank of Canada. An Innovation P3 approach also helps to align local municipal goals for zero-emissions fleets with global capital that can support the financing as well as the operations and maintenance of higher-than-normal risk technologies integration efforts and deployments. • Innovation P3 Site #1: The York Region-Brampton-Burlington-Oshawa-Guelph Battery Electric Bus Integration Project is led by a “Coalition of the Willing” of city fleets in the jurisdictions noted above, none of which have sufficient local funds to initiate these capital intensive and technologically complex projects, but each of which has a local carbon-reduction plan in place. • Innovation P3 Site #2: The Pan-Canadian Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Bus Integration Project, is led by the City of Mississauga’s MiWay transit fleet, along with a potential “Coalition of the Willing” including York Region, Brampton and Toronto, none of which have sufficient local funds to initiate this capital intensive and technologically complex project or supply chain development process, but each of which has a local carbon-reduction plan in place.

Subvention, Contribution ou autre avantage financier

• Ontario’s recently cancelled Greenhouse Gas Reduction Account Fund has eliminated provincial sources of funding for the world-leading Pan-Canadian Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Bus Demonstration & Integration Trial.
• Secure federal government funding for low-carbon smart mobility projects.
• Secure funding for the ACES Big Data Trust and ZEB Simulation Rollout projects through FedDev Ontario and the Electric Vehicle Demonstration Program, respectively.
