Developing sustainable transportation solutions together

Our advanced propulsion laboratory has a full range of leading-edge equipment and components for advanced propulsion systems and a generic test vehicle entirely designed by ITAQ. This new universal, modular progressive platform concept will allow a standardization of test practices during the validation of advanced systems.

The acquisition and installation of our R&D equipment was made possible by the financial assistance from the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI), the Government of Québec and 16 private-sector partners: a project valued at $5.4 million.
