This year’s competition was held in Brussels where four electric vehicles, an Irizar i2e, the Ebusco 2.1, Solaris Urbino 12 and Van Hool Exqui.City, and a CNG-fuelled Mercedes-Benz Citaro NGT competed.

Two charging systems have been installed in the bus: one using a pantograph, for charging during stopovers at bus stops, the other one using a plug-in for charging in the bus depot.

The mobile charger of the plug-in type was connected to a post with a pantograph specially devised for this purpose. Thanks to this solution the driving range of the electric Urbino is practically unlimited says Solaris.

We have been producing battery trolleybuses since 2001, and battery buses – since 2011. The latter are already operating in several dozen European cities. They are equipped with various types of batteries and have differing charging systems, and they can operate for up to 24 hours a day.
