Historic partnership to electrify Brampton’s transit fleet in landmark UK-Canada collaboration

Brampton partner with UK-based Zenobē to fully electrify its bus fleet, marking Canada’s largest zero-emission transit initiative. The 10-year agreement will replace up to 1,000 diesel buses with battery electric models, slashing the City’s transit-related greenhouse gas emissions, which currently account for 70% of its corporate emissions. Announced in Ottawa with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, the project exemplifies international collaboration, bringing $1 billion in foreign investment and supporting 5,000 jobs across Canada and the UK. This initiative positions Brampton as a North American leader in clean, modern public transportation.
