Electric Vehicle Manufacturing Value Chain Program (EVMP) Summary
NGen is investing up to $35 million in collaborative projects to strengthen Canadian capability and content in the electric vehicle manufacturing value chain, targeting areas like battery electric vehicles and fuel cell electric vehicles.
Electric Vehicle Manufacturing Value Chain Program (EVMP) Detailed Explanation
NGen's Electric Vehicle Manufacturing Value Chain Program (EVMP) aims to support the development of advanced manufacturing technologies and processes in Canada's automotive industry to enhance the country's participation in the electric vehicle market. With a focus on Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs), Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs), and their respective components, the program seeks to create jobs, add value to the Canadian economy, and increase the quality of products while reducing operational emissions. Through a collaborative approach involving industry partners, NGen aims to drive innovation and competitiveness in the Canadian automotive manufacturing sector.
The program emphasizes the transformation of the industry by promoting the integration of made-in-Canada parts and technology into electric vehicle value chains. By funding projects that enhance the manufacturing scale-up of innovation along the electric vehicle value chain, from minerals processing to final assembly, NGen aims to reduce the overall cost of manufacturing zero-emission vehicles in Canada while improving their quality and reducing emissions.
Through the EVMP, NGen is looking to support projects that focus on areas such as the refinement of critical minerals and materials for electric vehicle systems, development of traction batteries and associated components, vehicle lightweighting, power electronics, electric machines, fuel cell systems, and more. Projects must meet NGen's core criteria of being transformative, collaborative, applied, and enduring to receive funding.
With the timeline for the program outlined including key dates and deadlines for project applications, NGen is providing a structured approach for the industry to engage, collaborate, and drive innovation in the electric vehicle manufacturing sector. By supporting the growth and integration of high-potential Canadian innovation along the entire electric vehicle value chain, the EVMP aims to enhance Canada's position in the global electric vehicle market and pave the way for a sustainable and competitive automotive manufacturing industry.
