Sudbury’s hit conference focused on battery-electric vehicles is set to return to the Nickel City this spring.

BEV In Depth: Mines to Mobility will take place May 31 to June 1 at Cambrian College.

Last year, mining, companies, auto-makers, technology manufacturers and others gathered to discuss how Sudbury could become a hub for battery electric vehicle (BEV) manufacturing expertise in Ontario.

Keynote speakers at the conference included Julie Dabrusin, the parliamentary secretary to the minister of Natural Resources and parliamentary secretary to the minister of Environment and Climate Change; Brian Kingston, president and CEO of the Automobile Manufacturers Association of Canada; and David Adams, president of the Global Automakers Association of Canada.

Additionally, battery-electric vehicles were on site and participants toured local companies, innovation centres, and research facilities to see first-hand Sudbury’s available expertise.

More detailed information about the 2023 conference is expected to be announced shortly.
