Montreal’s electric buses use more energy in winter but are still more cost-effective than diesel
Concordia UniversityA Concordia study found that Montreal’s electric buses consume 26% more energy in winter due to colder temperatures, road friction, and the need for interior heating. Despite this seasonal drop in efficiency, they remain 40–60% cheaper to operate than diesel buses and continue to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Can China–Africa agricultural trade become a new approach to address food security challenges?
Higher Education PressA collaborative research team from institutions including China Agricultural University and Solomon Islands National University has addressed this question through in-depth analysis using a multi-country general equilibrium model. By leveraging trade data from 2001 to 2022 and combining it with a structural multi-country trade model, the team simulated the impact of China–Africa agricultural trade liberalization on the welfare and food security of both parties. The related paper has been published in Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering (DOI: 10.15302/J-FASE-2025617).
