Research on biomaterials for use in electric vehicles is just one of the projects being explored between scientists at Trent and collaborators at Trouvé Victory Inc. Trouvé has been building momentum in the automotive sector with the launch of several EV designs and ambitious plans to engage in research and design to bring new Canadian electric vehicles to market.
“Our slogan ‘Driven by Innovation’ truly expresses Trouvé’s long-term vision: to innovate and use the latest advances in zero-emission electric car manufacturing for the purpose of producing green hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicles to the world market,” said Faruk K. Rama, chairman of Trouvé Victory Inc. “Our collaboration with Trent University research scientists will enable us to live up to this vision.”
Trent’s new MOU with Trouvé reflects the University’s commitment to advancing clean technology innovation in the region.
