The Quebec government is granting $22.6 million to bus manufacturer Prévost to accelerate the electrification of its vehicles.
Premier François Legault made the announcement at the manufacturer's plant in Sainte-Claire, Beauce-Appalaches, Thursday afternoon.
The funding consists of a $15.15-million loan from Investissement Québec and a $7.5-million grant.
The financing will allow the development of a 100 per cent electric bus model, but also to convert diesel buses into electric vehicles.
