Vehicles that depend most heavily on diesel, such as garbage trucks, delivery trucks, and freight trucks are the main target for this electrification. School buses have routes that are relatively shorter than […]

In a contract with Switzerland-based ABB, Transports Publics Genevois (TPG) will add “flash-charging” buses along a route from Geneva’s airport to Praille-Acacias Vernet. The 12 TOSA (Trolleybus Optimisation Système Alimentation) buses and 13 “flash-charging” stations will service over 10,000 passengers […]

Different version of the same technology are currently under testing but nothing is like Busbaar V3, a system that can charge the battery of an electric bus in less than 10 minutes. The […]

The only thing is that keeping a tight schedule for electric public transportation may prove a bit of a challenge. Still, it can be done and the Dutch city of Noord-Brabant is here to show us how.
