Hitachi Energy<\/strong><\/a> launched the pilot test of the Grid-eMotion Fleet<\/strong>,<\/a> which is a charging system with adapted capacities of several megawatts to supply energy to fleets of urban buses in Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The system contributes to the Quebec provincial government’s plan to electrify 55% of city buses and 65% of school buses by 2030, taking into account that transportation accounts for a quarter of total greenhouse gas emissions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This project offers a great opportunity to demonstrate how charging systems designed specifically for fleets can play a key role in transitioning our urban transportation systems to all-electric operations,”<\/strong> said Alireza Aram, general manager, Grid Integration North America, Hitachi Energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that the proposal also allows them to explore different approaches to fleet charging systems in a real-world environment by collecting data with public transportation agencies around the world, including traditional terminals and overhead pantograph systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
