Maciej Wojeński, Vice-President of Ekoenergetyka-Polska commented: ”We are really happy to see that more and more Polish cities opt for cleaner and greener transport systems. We delivered our first charger to Inowrocław in 2015 and we will do it again this year. It shows yet again that Polish municipalities really trust Ekoenergetyka to supply their fleets with our reliable and optimised charging infrastructure. More than 10 Polish cities already have Ekoenergetyka’s charging infrastructure. It confirms our position as the leader in charging infrastructure for electric buses in Poland.”
The 300kW opportunity charger from Ekoenergetyka will be used to charge 8 Volvo buses. Thanks to the automatic charging with top-down pantographs, Inowrocław’s e-buses will receive quick energy top-ups during the day while they stop at bus termini, with no disruption to their schedule nor to driver’s current responsibilities. The devices will be located across the city and will be used for no more than 8 min per charging sessions between two routes couple of times per day.
In addition to the chargers Ekoenergetyka will provide an external monitoring system that will enable the bus operator to check in real-time the charging processes of its vehicles, gather data about the charging-related process and perform maintenance
Charging infrastructure will follow international protocol ISO 15118 which defines communication between the chargers and the electric buses as well as the industry-supported OppCharge system for top-down charging. This will ensure the interoperability of the charging system with all buses compliant with those international standards and charging protocols.
