Range extension
Buses can be fitted with fuel cells to extend the operational range
Battery remains source of traction power
Fuel cells are used to recharge the battery
First buses for Hochbahn of Hamburg for operation on Innovation Line 109, supported by German Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure
To be used in bi-articulated electric buses currently under development

Inductive charging in practise
16/23
Line M19
12 km distance 1 end stop 25 stops on route 18 km/h average speed Operating freequency
every 10 minutes (working days) every 15 minutes (weekends)
More often charging operations allows to use smaller and lighter battery. Thanks to this we can keep high passenger capacity of the bus
Inductive charging in practise

Battery charging Inductive charging
Bombardier Primove system Dedicated pick-up coil under bus floor Dedicated inductive coil under the
surface of the street Charging station integrated with
advertising column
200 kW charging power 4 charging points/stations
with different charging times 1 at the end stop (up to 11 minutes) 2 at the bus stops (up to 30 seconds) 1 at depot (up to 15 minutes)
Inductive charging in practise

Vehicles
1 standard bus Inductive fast charging 60 kWh battery In service from March 2014
4 articulated buses (+ 1 option) Inductive fast charging 90 kWh battery In service from late 2014

Reliable drive and charging technology
Initial operating experience confirms reliability of electric drives and charging systems
Urbino 12 electric and Urbino 18 electric in Braunschweig in service since March and December 2014 respectively, inductively charged with Bombardier Primove
80% availability in first five months of operation of Urbino 12 electric
Energy consumption of Urbino 18 electric 1.7 kWh/km
Quiet and smooth drive characteristics
Urbino 12 electric in long-term test in Kraków, cable & plug charged

Long-term tests
Solaris is a partner in the European Union‘s ZeEUS project
Experience and further development
Battery buses operated and tested in numerous European cities

Finding the right technologies
Market currently is in a phase of testing different concepts for electric buses
No clear indication yet which technologies will become preferred choices
Solaris supports exploration of opportunities with wide range of drive and charging technologies, adapted to individual operators‘ requirements
Open questions surrounding operational integration to be explored in practice
What will the future mix of fleets be?
Only battery buses?
Mix of battery and plug-in hybrid buses?
Mix of battery and diesel buses?
Opportunity charging or range extenders?
Experience and further development
