ADL has won a contract to deliver 29 of its next-generation Enviro500EV electric double-deck buses, to Canadian transport operator BC Transit* in British Columbia, Canada. The vehicles will be built in North America, through build partner Big Rig Manufacturing.

The truck engines will be fitted with Westport’s high-pressure direct injection (HPDI) system, using compression-ignition to deliver power and range comparable to a conventional diesel.

There are several acres of parking for trailers, a 24,700-square-foot building with offices and workshops, a fuel station, truck weighing scales, and other facilities. 

We interviewed David Savage, Geotab’s Vice President for the UK and Ireland to get a better sense of the planned rollout of this new and exciting product.

The Rizon brand will be offered in four model variants, namely the e16L, e16M, e18L, and the e18M ranging from 7.25T to 8.55T GVW. Importantly, Rizon battery-electric vehicles qualify for Canadian government subsidies through the Medium- and Heavy-duty-Zero-Emission Vehicles” (iMHZEV) program.

The Board of Exro Technologies Inc of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, has approved the proposed merger with Los Angeles-based retrofit firm SEA Electric Holdings Pty Ltd, first announced in February this year.

The bus will integrate BAE System’s electric powertrain, Ballard’s hydrogen fuel cell and Gillig’s low-floor body. Production is set to begin in Q1 2026 for the North American market.

Ballard has announced an additional USD 54 million in U.S. federal funding (investment tax credits) for its planned fuel cell production facility in Rockwall Texas. This brings the total in federal funding to USD 94 million, through various U.S. departments including the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office and now the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as part of the Qualifying Advanced Energy Project Tax Credit (48C*), funded by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).

He was promoted to the newly created role of President and will work alongside founder and CEO William Trainer to expand distribution across North America and oversee production in the United States.

With more than 100 locations authorised to sell and service its electric vehicles, 30% of Navistar’s dealer network is now EV certified.

Some 1,000 units are to be made up of approximately 800, FCmove-HD 70 kW and 200, FCmove-HD+ 100 kW engines which will be integrated into the Solaris 12-metre and 18-metre buses. Included in the contract are after-market and extended warranty services. Delivery will occur from 2024 to 2027.
