Powering the future of public transport


Powering the future of public transport. Charging strategies for bus fleets

Plug-in or pantograph charging? Slow or fast? In the depot or at terminus? Smart charging? What happens as the number of e-buses and power increases?

Within a fast-evolving landscape, there’s a concept that should be taken for granted: the ‘battle’ of energy transition in public transport will be fought on the infrastructure’s terrain.

Several aspects come into play: depots to be converted, a growing energy demand, the reorganizations of parking lots and depot-based procedures, a careful planning of the routes depending on the location of charging points. 

The way an operator powers an e-bus fleet demands a clear understanding how the city will evolve in the future. 

Developing a future-proof charging strategy is essential for city and public transport operators.
