Bob Lamanna, vice president and general manager of Power & Propulsion Solutions at BAE Systems said: “Delivering leading-edge technology to help Toronto realise its green transit initiatives is a shared vision for BAE Systems and the TTC.”

Gen3 uses silicon carbide to increase power density and electricity efficiency, which allows buses to travel longer distances on a single charge.  

In June this year, BAE announced that ten transit authorities members of the Association du Transport Urbain du Quebec (ATUQ) ordered up to 1,229 battery-electric buses, which also used the Gen3 electric drive system.
