Shaping the future of public transport
With its roots in Montréal, Canada, Pantero harnesses the expertise of industry veterans with a proven history of successful R&D and vehicle development projects in both the automotive and rail industries. As a dynamic force, Pantero is set to deliver cutting-edge urban mobility innovations.
Our Mission: Bringing solutions to help shape the future of public transport to meet the challenges of global urbanisation, climate change and sustainable mobility.
Our main areas of activity are:We don't only provide technologies: we develop solutions that redefine industry standards in terms of technical, economic, and environmental performance. We leverage new technologies to improve vehicle quality of service while applying sustainable mobility principles.
Good transport systems are critical to strong economies. They also contribute directly to community building and enhance the quality of life. Accordingly, they should be designed and operated to protect health and safety and increase the quality of life of the people in the community.
Transport needs must be met without generating emissions that threaten public health, aggravate the global climate, or jeopardize biological diversity and the integrity of essential ecological processes.
Sustainable transport systems must be cost-effective.
