In 2025, Quebec is taking a major step toward sustainable mobility. As the Ministry of Transport confirms the upcoming delivery of new electric buses, Letenda is positioning itself as a key player in this transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An Electric Fleet Still Limited<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Currently, only 73 electric urban buses<\/strong> are operating in Quebec\u2019s transit networks, far from the target set by the Plan for a Green Economy<\/strong>: reaching 55% of the total fleet by 2030<\/strong>, or nearly 2,200 vehicles<\/strong>. By comparison, the number of electric school buses registered in 2023 stands at 766<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Major Investments<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n To accelerate the transition, Quebec and Ottawa announced in May 2023 investments of $1.1 billion<\/strong> and $780 million<\/strong> to acquire 1,229 electric buses<\/strong> for public transit agencies. The first deliveries are scheduled for 2025<\/strong>, marking the start of a rollout that will intensify over the coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Letenda: Innovation Serving Communities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n During a press conference, Environment Minister Benoit Charette praised the boldness of Letenda, an electric bus manufacturer based in Longueuil. Its electric Midibus<\/strong>, tested by exo for 18 weeks in 2024, demonstrated remarkable reliability<\/strong> under various weather conditions, with a range of up to 362 km<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This compact 9-meter vehicle<\/strong> meets the needs of less busy routes and fits into a vision of more flexible and eco-friendly public transit. \u201cCongratulations to Letenda for introducing a different product that clearly meets specific needs,\u201d said the minister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n A Promising Future<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Exo, which operates 242 bus routes in the Greater Montreal area, plans to integrate its first electric buses in 2025<\/strong> and expects to introduce 9-meter vehicles like Letenda\u2019s Midibus by 2028<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n At Letenda, we believe innovation and sustainability go hand in hand.
