How to manage large fleets of e-buses? How to deal between the necessity of a sufficient daily range and the efficient distribution of the appropriate charging infrastructures? Slow charging or fast charging? The transition to zero emission buses in city public transport must be based not only on a careful examination of current needs, but also an informed view on future scenarios.

The above mentioned topics (and more) have been addressed during the first event of the Sustainable Bus Tour 2021 on 6th May 2021 with the participation of public transport operators Transdev, Keolis and BVG Berlin.

Concerning the industry players, the webinar featured the charging infrastructure provider Hitachi ABB Power Grids, the telematics company ViriCiti and the depot management provider PSI Trascom. The utility provider Enel X and the bus manufacturer Solaris Bus & Coach, the market leader 2020 in Europe in the e-bus field, joined the panel.

It has been the first event of a brand new initiative organized by our media with the goal of discussing sector-related key issues and outlooks with the participation of operators, manufacturers, providers of components and technologies. With a keen look at today’s projects and the focus on the challenges the public transport sector is facing.
