Strategic partnership with Canada

e-mobil BW, the State Agency for New Mobility and Automotive Solutions in Baden-Württemberg, and the Canadian Urban Transit Research & Innovation Consortium (CUTRIC) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to share information, knowledge and best practices in the field of low-carbon mobility and transit solutions.

The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) establishes a reciprocal arrangement between the two organizations that will support ongoing engagement between the transit, transportation and automotive manufacturing sectors of Canada and Baden-Württemberg. It will also support both organizations’ growth through the sharing of information, knowledge and best practices in the field of low-carbon mobility and zero-emissions heavy-duty transit solutions. This will be achieved in three key ways:

• By building a strategic partnership through collaborative projects, bilateral and multilateral meetings and workshops, R&D, and networking cooperation between members and partners allied to low-carbon and zero-emission transportation, transit and mobility technologies.

• By sharing information on upcoming events, scientific articles, and new facilities allied to low-carbon and zero-emission transportation, transit and mobility technologies.

• By mutually attending conferences and events such as CUTRIC’s Zero Emission Bus Technology & Transit Operations Conference, Automotive Suppliers’ Day Baden-Württemberg, webinars, in-person presentations, member meetings and more.
