In the time that it takes for passengers to get on and off the bus, a laser-guided arm sends 600 kW straight into onboard lightweight batteries with a brand-new flashing technology developed by engineers at ABB, a leading global technology company in power and automation. The charge allows for the propulsion until the next bus / next charging station. Since May 2013, the city is successfully running a pilot and plans to operate the full bus line by 2018.</p> </div></div></div> Thu, 22 Dec 2016 15:11:59 +0000 clf 1386 at https://pocacito.eu https://pocacito.eu/marketplace/flash-charging-electric-public-transport-tosa-buses#comments
