Theron EV will shortly be launching production of its Reever electric vehicle in a 20,000 sq. ft. pilot plant adjacent to the Lupel District. Up to 2,500 units could be produced there, ready for delivery next spring.

Around 2,500 off-road vehicles will leave the new facility every year.

Theron moves to Trois-Rivières to produce Canada's first all-electric ATVs. It is located in the former Cascades premises, in the Cap-de-la-Madeleine sector.

Thanks to an investment of some five million dollars, Theron EV has reached the production stage of its electric quad bike, and the whole thing will be up and running in January in a facility located in the heart of Energy Transition Valley.

Mauricie is making another contribution to the electrification of transport. Young entrepreneurs are putting the finishing touches to a fully electric all-terrain vehicle (ATV). Developed in Shawinigan, it will be manufactured in Trois-Rivières. The first units should be delivered next year.

Today, we bring you an exclusive first-drive review of the Theron Reever, an electric ATV that could make you stop waiting for the Tesla Cyberquad and set the stage for a new segment being electrified.

A few months ago, the Planète Quad team introduced you to Theron Sport. This innovative company is the first to offer a 100% electric quad that is entirely designed in Quebec. Recently, we had the opportunity to test their prototype: the Theron REEVER. A few rough tests and different types of terrain later, we can now give you our impressions.

The Mauricie Knowledge Economy (ESM) regional innovation conference brought together more than 140 participants last Thursday.

SHAWINIGAN. The spirit was in celebration Thursday evening at the Alphonse-Desjardins Entrepreneurship Center in Shawinigan (CEADS) as the red carpet was rolled out to welcome the hundred guests to celebrate the 10th anniversary of this reconversion of the old Wabasso factory.

Bastien Theron has a passion for quad biking. He was barely 8 years old when he started riding this type of off-road vehicle. A graduate of the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières in mechanical engineering a few years ago, the young entrepreneur also has "a great passion for the environment".

The price of gasoline has skyrocketed and the quad travel budget risks being affected by this increase in black gold, which has a lot of meaning in its name here.

ELECTRIFICATION. Electric ATV manufacturer THERON has reached a new milestone in its quest for recognition, with Parks Canada and Sépaq (Société des établissements de plein air du Québec) each having just purchased a Reever.

For several years, a huge craze for the electrification of transport has been underway. We definitely see it in the automotive sector with the arrival of countless new emerging companies and with the major manufacturers continually innovating. This revolution is also driven by the much higher energy efficiency of electric motors compared to internal combustion engines. Currently, energy storage and charging station networks are constantly progressing to reduce the negative points that initially slowed down this transition. Environmental issues are clearly a cornerstone of this race.

ELECTRIFICATION. Theron, the manufacturer of the Reever electric ATV, launched a socio-financing campaign a few days ago on La Ruche Mauricie, aiming to raise $12,000.

REGIONAL FOCUS: MAURICIE. There was a time when the forestry industry dominated the Mauricie economy. That era has given way to a new one, in which clean technologies have become regional stars.

SHAWINIGAN. To highlight innovative Quebec energy efficiency products, the Center of Excellence in Energy Efficiency (C3E) unveiled a permanent commercial showcase on Thursday to provide additional visibility for these products.

We talk about it with the general director and engineer, Bastien Theron.

Production of Theron's first 100% electric all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) is scheduled to start in 2022.

INNOVATION. After Taïga Motors and its electric snowmobile developed at the Alphonse-Desjardins Entrepreneurship Center (CEADS) five years ago, Shawinigan is once again the epicenter of the electrification of transportation as a trio of entrepreneurs prepare to launch the first fully electric all-terrain vehicle (ATV) on the market.

Since reducing our ecological footprint to become carbon neutral is such a hot topic, we can be particularly proud of these visionaries in the transport electrification and sustainable mobility sectors who are bringing us closer to our goal. Here are nine Quebec companies leading the way so we can hit the road without losing our bearings

DISTINCTION. The 23rd OSEntreprendre Mauricie Challenge crowned its regional winners during a gala held virtually this Wednesday, April 21.

The Centre d'excellence en efficacité énergétique (C3E) is proud to announce a $350,000 investment in THERON to support the commercialization of its all-terrain vehicle: the REEVER. This investment is made possible thanks to the financial support of Transition énergétique Québec to support innovative projects in the transportation energy efficiency sector at the pre-commercialization stage.
