>> Contributions & Project Involvement << History, Mission & Vision

Other contributions include a VTC executive director and office facilities provided by the Province, and board leadership by Manitoba vehicle and transportation equipment manufacturers and the University of Manitoba Transport Institute.
Manitoba's VTC and the Future
 In recent years, government assistance, both directly and through VTC, has helped Manitoba’s two bus manufacturers strengthen their positions in the marketplace. They have made Manitoba an undisputed leader in the manufacture of superior quality transit and intercity buses.
Manitoba is also home to several other thriving companies that manufacture purpose-built vehicles, design and supply sophisticated parts, and provide the services required to test and perfect them. VTC’s role is to work wherever possible to continue promoting the development and expansion in this industry and its work force.
With funding provided by the federal and provincial governments, VTC is currently introducing an original equipment manufacturers and suppliers development program. This cost-shared program will act as a catalyst to multi-partner projects developing new technologies required by Manitoba transportation and agribusiness manufacturers.
VTC seeks to develop a teamwork approach between manufacturers and their suppliers that will ultimately increase economic growth, create new jobs and support sustainable development.
