Newton and Metrobus Centres Electrification

The Réseau de transport de la Capitale (RTC) requested tenders for the supply of professional services for the production of functional and technical programs and pre-concepts, within the framework of the major renovation projects of the Newton Centre and the Metrobus Centre.

In order to meet a growing demand for service, the RTC plans to significantly increase its bus fleet. The current fleet is composed of 615 vehicles and is spread over two sites: The Lebourgneuf transport centre or the Armand-Viau transport centre.

As part of the Sustainable Mobility Policy and its plan for a green economy, the Quebec government will only finance the acquisition of 100% electric vehicles by transportation companies starting in 2025. Transport companies are therefore preparing to gradually acquire and operate these recent-technology vehicles.
