Effenco’s offices are located in the South-West, in the heart of Montreal, a vibrant neighbourhood near the Lachine Canal and major institutions of higher education.
Innovation: day in, day out | | Effenco has just launched a new, 100% electric solution that is poised to radically transform the vocational trucking sector by significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions in a highly polluting industry. This flexible and adaptable solution, offered at the same purchase price as diesel alternatives, pairs ultracapacitors with high-intensity wireless charging stations strategically positioned using the company’s artificial intelligence algorithms, enabling the optimization of on-board energy without sacrificing the vehicles’ vocation and performance. This latest innovation is a testament to the sheer scope of Effenco’s projects and its willingness to take on the toughest challenges.
