About
This panel will discuss the current station performance, covering the latest progress and technical challenges. Specific topics to be covered will include depot electrification, charge management and solutions, maintenance and safety, connecting assets together in an ecosystem approach, and managing the limitations of grid capacity.
Element Energy (an ERM Group company) has over 10 years of experience and knowledge as electric vehicle sector experts through involvement in multiple charging infrastructure projects globally. They will moderate the session.
Siemens Smart Infrastructure offers intelligent and efficient charging infrastructure including IoT enabled hardware, software, and services. Siemens is a key player in depot electrification, providing a service that includes planning, installation, grid connections, digitalisation and data monitoring. With this experience, Siemens will be able to discuss the challenges faced in depot electrification projects and key learnings.
Fluvius, as a grid operator in Belgium, will be able to discuss the challenges and solutions regarding grid connections from the side of the grid operator, with previous experience in electrifying depots operated by De Lijn.
As Amsterdam has one of the largest battery electric bus fleets in Europe, Vervoerregio Amsterdam will be able to discuss both depot and opportunity charging used by the BEB fleet, and the opportunities and challenges faced by both.
Similarly, EMT Madrid, the main mobility operator in the city, since last december 2022 is running a 100% clean bus fleet according to the EU Clean Vehicles Directive, with 2,100 bus fleet, out of which 227 are electric, the rest being CNG will be able to discuss the new intelligent charging system at Carabanchel bus depot,with the innovative inverted pantograph facility, is leading to further efficiency improvements.
