New wind in Königs Wusterhausen: 16 e-buses start!

Königs Wusterhausen, Deutschland - In Königs Wusterhausen it is electrically! Today 16 new electric buses from the Chinese manufacturer BYD start in scheduled operations. The buses come with a range of up to 450 kilometers, with a guaranteed range of 300 kilometers. In addition, the loading time only takes two hours. If you consider that they cost 460,000 euros each, you really do good business here - the operating costs of the electric buses are about half as high as that of their diesel powered predecessors, so MOZ.de.

A real progress for the region! The equipment of the new buses leaves nothing to be desired: WLAN, USB connections, air conditioning and barrier-free access are just a few of the features. Safety is very important - with digital interior monitoring and six cameras instead of rear mirrors, passengers come on board. In addition, the buses are equipped with a fatigue and turning assistant, which also ensures a safe driving experience.

funding and sustainability

The purchase of the e-buses was supported with 5.7 million euros from federal funding. According to media reports, a total of 33.7 million euros in Brandenburg will be purchased of 125 electric buses. This state funding has significantly supported the market high run of electric buses in Germany, as PWC emphasized in a study that examined the period from 2018 to 2023. The number of electrical busses rose from around 200 to 2,640 in the same period. That shows: The direction is right!

The switch to e-buses also shows positive climatic effects. According to a life cycle analysis, the emissions of battery buses can be reduced by more than half compared to diesel buses. And the trust of the operators in electric buses grows - the comprehensive data evaluation proves that the daily mileage of the electric buses almost reaches the diesel buses. This is not only good for the environment, but also a sign of a future-proof mobility! Ecomento.de

technical innovations and training

In order to be able to optimally use the new technologies, 80 percent of the drivers of regional traffic Südschnellstraße (RSV) in Königs Wusterhausen have already been trained on the modern vehicles. In addition, 16 charging stations were installed on the RSV site in Mittenwalde, each of which works with 200 kW performance. To compensate for network bottlenecks, two buffer stores with 1.2 megawatt hours each are necessary.

With these innovations, nothing stands in the way of ecological and at the same time economic benefit. The world market leaders BYD not only have high standards in production, but also rely on sustainability - and also in Europe! So you can be excited to see what the electro-mobile passengers in Königs Wusterhausen can expect in the future.
