Project Objectives

The objective of this project is to develop an innovative transmission system that improves the range of electric MHDVs (for the same battery size), address range anxiety, and accelerate the transition of internal combustion MHDVs to EVs, dramatically reducing GHG emissions.

Expected Results

This project aims to:

  1. Reduce maintenance costs and enable lighter, more reliable vehicles with improve ranges, potentially reducing battery size and costs for electric MHDVs.
  2. Improve vehicle efficiency by 7-15% over single gear transmissions.
  3. Boost energy efficiency, reducing costs, emissions, and supporting sustainability goals.
  4. Create jobs in Canada’s automotive and clean tech sectors, generating Canadian patent applications and IP.
  5. Strengthen consumer confidence, driving further investment and development.
