Nova Bus is a Canadian bus manufacturer and a leading provider of sustainable transit solutions in North America. With a product range from standard 40-ft buses to high-capacity articulated Bus Rapid Transit vehicles, from clean diesel to hybrid-electric and from 100% electric to natural gas propulsion, the company's buses can meet any type of service demand on the market. Nova Bus is known as a builder of the low floor series (LFS) city buses with a hybrid drivetrain. In 2017 Nova Bus launched a fully electric heavy-duty transit bus, being tested by the Society of Transport of Montreal. In regions with harsh climate, passenger comfort requires heating the cabin with a significant portion of the energy stored. Heating the bus with a 100% electric power would require significant additional cost, volume, and weight of the battery. Nova Bus therefore wishes to develop with McGill researchers an alternative energy storage and heat production, that would prevent greenhouse gas emissions, with reduced cost, weight and size compared to batteries. ****

Nova Bus 是一家加拿大巴士制造商，也是北美可持续交通解决方案的领先供应商。该公司的巴士产品范围涵盖从标准 40 英尺巴士到大容量铰接式快速公交车辆、从清洁柴油到混合动力电动、从 100% 电动到天然气推进，可满足市场上任何类型的服务需求。 Nova Bus 是一家以混合动力传动系统低地板系列 (LFS) 城市公交车的制造商而闻名。 2017年，Nova Bus推出了一款全电动重型公交车，并接受了蒙特利尔交通协会的测试。在气候恶劣的地区，为了乘客的舒适度，需要用很大一部分储存的能量来加热车厢。使用 100% 电力加热公交车需要大量额外的电池成本、体积和重量。因此，Nova Bus 希望与麦吉尔大学的研究人员一起开发一种替代能源存储和热量生产方式，与电池相比，可以防止温室气体排放，并降低成本、重量和尺寸。 ****
