We'll do the presentation in French, if you don't mind.
I will start by telling you who we are, and then I will let Mr. Allen take over to talk about emerging technologies.
As you mentioned, Nova Bus is part of the Volvo Group, which is all over the world and has 118,000 employees. In Canada, we are the representatives of the Volvo Bus Group. We are responsible for public transit products for all of North America.
Nova Bus has three plants, two in Canada and one in the United States, in order to meet the requirements of the Buy American Act. In Canada, we are the leader with a little over 50% of market share. We employ about 1,000 people, 800 of them in Canada. About 1,000 buses are sold per year, with sales of about $0.5 billion.
I will now let Mr. Allen talk about innovative technologies.
