The depot, one of the biggest in Europe with 500 vehicles, opened its doors in Via Ferrarese, Bologna this week and it is Italy’s first equipped with Kempower charging solutions.
Bologna is leading the net-0 public transport transition among Italian cities and the opening of this new e-bus charging site is key for the city to comply with its sustainability goals. At this site, TPER will charge 20 electric buses (12m and 18m lengths) simultaneously with five single-output Kempower Satellites to be used as an auxiliary charging point. This will provide charging up to 130 kW, and 20 Kempower Pantographs, with the chance to charge up to 300 kW.
As TPER expands its electric bus fleet, the demand for charging capacity at the depot will rise accordingly. Kempower’s modular and scalable charging solutions will allow TPER to easily increase the charging capacity at the depot, when needed.
