Greater Sudbury has further secured its place as a centre of learning and expertise in the electric vehicle (EV) industry.
Cambrian College officially opened its new EV lab on Tuesday at the college’s main campus.
Gord Gilpin, director of Ontario operations for Vale Base Metals says as part of the event. The company contributed $750,000 to the facility, which will be known as the Vale Electric Vehicle Lab.
The 5,600-square-foot facility will let Cambrian Research and Development (R&D) students work with industry partners developing prototypes and test industrial electrical batteries and powertrains, along with battery emulation equipment, duty cycle testing equipment and other applications.
