Manitoba is a major transportation hub for North America with a strong manufacturing presence which employs approximately 6,500 individuals, or about 10% of Manitoba's manufacturing workforce. Heavy vehicle manufacturing products account annually for about $2 billion in sales and approximately $1 billion (or about 10%) of the province's total exports. Red River College (RRC) has successfully worked with the heavy vehicle manufacturing sector for more than a decade, undertaking applied research projects valued at more than $5 million; but needs additional capacity. RRC is establishing the Vehicle Technology & Energy Centre (VTEC) to better serve the needs of the heavy vehicle manufacturing sector and enhance RRC's vehicle technology-related applied research capabilities and capacity; leading to positive economic and social impacts in the province and across Manitoba. VTEC will specialize in Vehicle Performance and Vehicle Development, responding to the requirements of OEMs and their suppliers; while obtaining research results which will also benefit fleet operators seeking to improve fuel efficiency and/or reduce emissions. VTEC will enable greater innovation of new and improved vehicle technologies in the sector, improve industry productivity and competitiveness, and support jobs; while better preparing the next generation of skilled workers. VTEC will catalyze ongoing research with existing partners and present outstanding opportunities for new partners to work with RRC to innovate, export, and thrive in the new global economy.

马尼托巴省是北美的主要交通枢纽，拥有强大的制造业基地，雇用了约 6,500 名员工，约占马尼托巴省制造业劳动力的 10%。重型车辆制造产品每年销售额约20亿美元，占全省出口总额约10亿美元（约10%）。 红河学院 (RRC) 已与重型车辆制造行业成功合作十多年，承担了价值超过 500 万美元的应用研究项目；但需要额外的容量。 RRC正在建立车辆技术与能源中心（VTEC），以更好地服务重型汽车制造领域的需求，增强RRC车辆技术相关的应用研究能力和能力；为该省和整个马尼托巴省带来积极的经济和社会影响。 VTEC 将专注于车辆性能和车辆开发，满足 OEM 及其供应商的要求；同时获得的研究成果也将有利于寻求提高燃油效率和/或减少排放的车队运营商。 VTEC 将促进该行业新的和改进的车辆技术的更大创新，提高行业生产力和竞争力，并支持就业；同时更好地培养下一代技术工人。 VTEC 将促进现有合作伙伴正在进行的研究，并为新合作伙伴提供与 RRC 合作的绝佳机会，以在新的全球经济中创新、出口和繁荣。
