Nestled in the lively heart of Quebec lies STYL&TECH—a monument of innovation and endless creativity, where the echoes of sparks and metallic clashes harmonize, creating a symphony that gives life to visions through its prototype engineering. In this hub of ingenuity, skilled engineers and craftsmen toil diligently, meticulously shaping the path to tomorrow’s wonders.

STYL&TECH has carved its name in the realm of transportation innovation, leaning on its two decades of relentless dedication to revolutionize the industry with a focus on buses, helicopters, and automobiles. Its expertise spans the initial stages of design and engineering to the fabrication and assembly of leading-edge products. Over the years, it has worked with industry giants like DaimlerChrysler, New Flyer, Bell Helicopter, BAE SYSTEMS, Irisbus, and many others, earning their trust through its ability to deliver exceptional results under tight deadlines.

Despite serving a diverse range of clients worldwide, STYL&TECH takes pride in its roots, with 100 percent of its development team from Quebec and 85 percent of its clients coming out of Quebec. With annual revenue of three million dollars, it continues to drive innovation in transportation while staying committed to its Quebecois heritage.

“Our multidisciplinary team consists of industrial designers, engineers, CAD 3D experts, and 3D metrologists working for a single purpose; integrate product design activities to accelerate development time and respond quickly to customers looking for quality service,” says Roch Champagne, president and owner of STYL&TECH.

Embracing the capabilities of 3D technology, its designers and engineers work closely to bring customer visions to life. STYL&TECH employs CAD software from industry leaders like CATIA, InnovMetric, and Siemens to ensure its creations are aesthetically pleasing and technologically advanced as well as environmentally conscious.

A testament to this commitment to sustainability is STYL&TECH’s patented lightweight bus concept, featuring an aluminum-bonded structure. This innovation, which earned it a U.S. patent, showcases its dedication to developing solutions for the ever-growing challenges of urban transit. As cities become more congested, efficient and less carbon-intensive transportation options become vital. STYL&TECH is also working to address key concerns in the safety and security of electric vehicles, which have unique risks associated with battery fires and potential hazards. It aims to create a safer, more reliable future for electric vehicles.

The STYL&TECH lightweight battery-electric midibus offers numerous advantages for transit bus operators. These include a 30 percent increase in miles per charge, battery lifetime without needing replacement, and a lifetime of components like tires, brakes, and suspensions.

Additionally, the bus contributes to a reduction in transit operation costs. Passengers can enjoy a safe and quiet ride, while cities benefit from reduced road maintenance incidents.

Another area of focus for STYL&TECH is corrosionresistant materials, which will help prolong the life of vehicles and improve overall performance. By staying ahead of these trends, it is positioning itself as a leader in the race to develop sustainable, efficient transportation options for the future.

STYL&TECH’s competence extends beyond the realm of vehicle design. It has made significant strides in the development of brand-new 3D scanning technology. Its groundbreaking equipment allows for precision and accuracy in manufacturing, ensuring the end product meets exact specifications. This meticulous approach to engineering has led to ultramodern advancements, like the X-ray scanner that can examine the exterior and interior of engines. This crowning new technology has piqued the interest of industry insiders and demonstrates its commitment to staying ahead of the curve.

The core of STYL&TECH’s success is its people. Its culture emphasizes creativity, collaboration, and a dedication to staying current with software advancements to ensure it remains at the forefront of innovation. Consequently, the team has cultivated a unique blend of skills, combining expertise in design and engineering with practical experience in manufacturing and assembly, offering a unique perspective. This holistic approach of melding together has allowed STYL&TECH to push the boundaries of what is possible.

One example of its collaborative spirit is the work STYL&TECH did with New Flyer, a bus manufacturer, in 2003. Today, New Flyer is the world’s best-selling bus manufacturer, thanks in large part to the innovative designs and prototypes that STYL&TECH helped create.

Moving ahead, it remains steadfast in its pursuit of progress. STYL&TECH, in collaboration with Canadian and U.S. Transit Bus Manufacturers, plans to showcase its lightweight bus concept at an industry event in October.

As part of a mobility project involving universities and transit bus operators, this radical solution aims to address the challenges of urban transit. STYL&TECH’s unwavering commitment to innovation and collaboration will forge new paths and shape the future of transportation. Open to discussing and sharing its technology, it actively seeks partnerships to advance and revolutionize the transportation sector.

STYL&TECH stands as a beacon of hope, where dreams are made tangible, and the future is forged with unwavering determination. As the symphony of sparks and metallic clangs continue to echo through the workshop, one cannot help but feel inspired by the boundless creativity and innovation of STYL&TECH that will pave the way for a new era of avant-garde transformative advancements.
