The next time you’re at Exhibition Place in Toronto, don’t be surprised if you see micro electric vehicles being driven around.

Those are SARIT (Safe, Affordable, Reliable, Innovative Transit) vehicles, which are being tested at the Toronto destination.

SARIT is backed by auto magnate Frank Stronach and intends to transform urban mobility with tiny, affordable, three-wheeled electric commuter cars, a news release from Exhibition Place says.

The micro cars are meant to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, ease traffic congestion and solve parking problems. These aims align with Exhibition Place’s commitments to sustainable practices and to become net carbon zero by 2030.

The three-wheelers will be used by Exhibition Place’s facilities and operations teams in their daily operations at the 192-acre site, both indoors and outdoors.

“Exhibition Place is thrilled to support this pioneering work,” said Exhibition Place CEO Don Boyle in the release. “By providing a testing ground for these innovative vehicles, we are supporting the development of this new technology and reaffirming Exhibition Place’s long-standing commitments to building a sustainable future.”

SARIT is a flagship research initiative York University’s Lassonde School of Engineering, which involves faculty, students and staff. They will collaborate with Exhibition Place to test and refine the vehicles.

“We are very excited about this partnership,” said professor Andrew Maxwell of the Lassonde School of Engineering in the release. “Exhibition Place’s reputation as a site focused on sustainability and its series of high-volume events throughout the year makes it the ideal environment to test and develop the SARIT vehicles and raise public awareness for this important Canadian innovation.”
