“Delivering leading-edge technology to help Toronto realize its green transit initiatives is a shared vision for BAE Systems and the TTC,” Bob Lamanna, vice president and general manager of Power & Propulsion Solutions at BAE Systems, said. “The TTC has consistently embraced sustainable transportation, and our systems will help make our vision a reality through reliable, efficient operation.”
BAE Systems’ Gen3 system includes an electric motor and power electronics to create a “clean, integrated” power-management product for the buses. Gen3 uses advanced materials such as silicon carbide (SiC) to increase power density and electrical efficiency, allowing buses to travel longer distances on a single charge. Its compact design allows for reduced size and weight to “deliver best-in-class reliability and performance,” BAE Systems said.
