This event focuses on a cross-border case study of innovations in the development of battery technology and electric vehicles in New York State and Québec.

Many of the breakthroughs in battery technology and electric vehicles take place thanks to a close collaboration between businesses, research centers and governments at the regional and local levels.

North American companies such as General Motors, Hydro-Quebec, General Electric and Nova Bus will share their experience in applying electric battery technology to a range of vehicles, from passenger cars to buses to locomotives.
