The Québec’ EST industry
Propelling electric and smart transportation (EST) in Quebec
Propulsion Québec is proactively putting in place conditions and measures to ensure the success of the electric vehicle revolution. The electrification of transportation is based on Quebec’s firm commitment to taking a major energy turn, promoting the sustainable development of our economy and providing concrete support in the fight against climate change. Electric trucks, electric buses, electric cars, electric bicycles and scooters: transport mobility is being radically revisited in order to build sustainable, high-performance models.
The unique expertise of high-caliber research in universities, colleges and the private sector is paving the way for large-scale technological innovations, ensuring a greener, richer future for tomorrow’s Quebec. The province is also leveraging its unique hydroelectric know-how to advance the energy transition.
