Public transportation (ÖPNV) plays a central role in the sustainable mobility transition. To reduce environmental impacts and CO2 emissions, the introduction of low-emission and climate-friendly bus drives is being promoted. Battery electric buses offer a promising alternative to conventional diesel buses. They are locally emission-free and thus contribute to improving air quality in cities and communities. Furthermore, they are significantly quieter than diesel buses, leading to a reduction in noise pollution. Additionally, public transport companies are required by the "Clean Vehicle Directive" (CVD) at the EU level and the "Clean Vehicles Procurement Act" (SaubFahrzeugBe-schG) which has been in effect in Germany since June 2021, to adhere to binding minimum targets for the procurement of vehicles with alternative drives for the first time, particularly for the procurement of buses for public transport. This transition requires that with the introduction of battery electric buses in public transportation at EW Bus GmbH in Eichsfeld, a subsidiary of Eichsfeldwerke, a corresponding, optimized charging infrastructure is provided. The goal of the tender is to create an efficient and scalable charging infrastructure with coordinated transformer technology. An efficient public transport system can only function with high-quality, tailored charging infrastructure. For this reason, EW Bus GmbH - referred to as the client, AG - is tendering a scalable and standardized charging solution.
