SUDBURY,
ON, May 3, 2024 /CNW/ - Building on the
tremendous success of previous years, the 2024 BEV
In-Depth: Mines to Mobility conference will continue to put the
entire electric vehicle (EV) battery supply chain under the
microscope, examining the opportunities and challenges involved in
advancing the battery electric economy in Ontario and throughout Canada.
The third BEV In-Depth: Mines to Mobility conference
includes an opening dinner on May 29
and full-day conference on May 30,
2024. The conference will take place at Cambrian College of
Applied Arts and Technology, one of Canada's top research colleges for industrial
battery electric vehicle (BEV) research and technology.
"As a global leader in the adoption of BEV technology, our
city and local businesses are guiding the way in developing and
adopting new technologies for mining in the digital age," said
City of Greater Sudbury Mayor
Paul Lefebvre. "We have the land,
the talent and the resources, to effectively support this industry
and we are actively working to secure partnerships to help advance
the automotive sector. We look forward to continuing the
conversation around critical minerals and their role in BEV
technology with conference delegates from across Ontario and beyond."
As automotive manufacturers move to meet Canada's commitment to achieve 100 per cent
zero-emission vehicles by 2035, this event brings together leaders
from across Canada to focus on the
entire BEV supply chain and forges relationships between leaders in
mining, automotive, battery technology, transportation and green
energy.
"Greater Sudbury is already
contributing so much to advance the battery electric supply
chain, and we are poised for continued growth and prosperity," said
City of Greater Sudbury Chief
Administrative Officer Ed Archer.
"Our city is proud to host an event that once again brings industry
leaders together for critical conversations and collaboration that
will not only support local economic growth but will also help the
whole sector accelerate the kind of progress on BEV technology the
world needs."
