The winner of the 2023 ITE Toronto Project of the Year Award is the University of Toronto’s “Electric-Cargo Pilot Study in Toronto”.  Join us on Wednesday, February 21st from 4:00PM – 5:00PM to learn more about this project.

Purolator Inc., in partnership with University of Toronto, has established a successful electric-cargo (e- cargo) tricycle demonstration project. On August 22, 2022, Purolator replaced delivery trucks on the University of Toronto St. George campus, and in neighbouring communities, with e-cargo tricycles operating from a microhub located at 60 St. George Street. This pilot is demonstrating the potential for e-cargo tricycle deliveries with potential expansion to other locations across Canada. Purolator is now delivering more sustainably on campus, with reduced emissions, fewer cyclist conflicts, and truck driver health improvement. This project contributes to decarbonizing Canadian last-mile deliveries.
