UOIT’s ACE research facility offers state-of-the-art technology that can simulate any weather condition imaginable, allowing industry leaders, researchers, and students to create, test and validate innovations in the auto sector. Thanks to a partnership with the Ontario government and Magna International, the ACE facility is adding a Moving Ground Plane – a giant belt that acts as a road moving under a vehicle.

The Moving Ground Plane will help companies and researchers create new energy-efficient products and reduce carbon emissions in the automotive industry. Students will also have access to the facility, giving them the opportunity to learn in a high-tech environment that will prepare them for the careers of the future.
