Electric buses reduce air pollution in cities as they produce no emissions during operation. They help to reduce CO2 emissions and noise levels, which leads to a better quality of life in urban areas
Commercial electric vehicles
Commercial electric vehicles include a wide range of electrically powered vehicles for commercial purposes, including lorries, vans and buses. Plannable routes and driving profiles, as well as locally defined charging options, are accelerating the development towards electrified vehicles. HARTING supports this development with a broad charging infrastructure portfolio as well as various components in the vehicle itself.
Electric buses as drivers of sustainable urban mobility
Electric bus technology is an essential part of efforts to make public transport more sustainable. The advantages such as environmental friendliness, lower operating costs and flexibility of use make electric buses an attractive option for the future of urban mobility. Electric buses use electric motors to convert energy stored in batteries into motion.
As a rule, lithium-ion batteries are used, which offer high energy density and a long service life.
More about the topic
Modern electric buses are equipped with a variety of advanced electronic control systems that perform the following functions:
Energy management: Optimisation of energy distribution and utilisation in the vehicle
Battery management: Monitoring and control of battery capacity and performance
Drive control: Efficient regulation of motor power for smooth operation
Passenger systems: Integration of information systems, ticketing, air conditioning and energy distribution
Two main systems are used to charge the vehicles:
High-performance charging systems along the route: For fast intermediate charging during operation
Depot charging solutions: For scheduled charging overnight or during breaks in operation
