With the APC project, we are developing a heavy-duty flywheel for transit buses specifically. That is the first order of business, because as fleet vehicles or municipalities are struggling with their capital and operational expenditure budgets, they cannot afford to buy hybrid buses. The ones they have bought don't work. They have no ROI—return on investment—in this process. They want to buy hybrids, and their budget pressures demand it. The technology prevents it.
We are specifically addressing that, and in that, we have facilitated the whole supply chain in heavy transit and transit buses to be on our advisory board for this APC. We're in discussion with companies like Purolator and other such well-known Canadian companies to do this. This is an all-Canadian advisory board of some of the largest companies in Canada that will be advising us on how we can address the OEM's, the manufacturer's, pain points for commercialization and the end fleet purchaser's pain points, of which there are many. This is as much a marketing and commercialization process as it is a technology process.
Our technology is done. We just have to integrate it into the vehicle and allow the benefits for the manufacturer and the fleet operators. That's the first step, and that's the key project. That's the pain point in the market right now. It's the fleet operators, the transit authorities, OC Transpo, Transit Windsor—you name every bus transit authority. That's who we're addressing first.
We'll be commercially ready in about 18 months.
