Mobility of the Future
12th VDV Electric Buses Conference and exhibition ElekBu
The bus market is facing radical restructuring. The EU and the federal government push the change forward. Their goal: to make tomorrow‘s mobility fossil-free. To this end, various instruments, regulations and laws are currently being modified at the same time. As the technical development advances rapidly, the transport companies are forced to make substantial and long-term investments with uncertainty. Plus, the unanswered question of how to react to the national implementation of the Clean Ve-hicles Directive. One thing is clear: the decade of the e-bus - whether battery-elec-tric or fuel cell - has begun.
As a result, transport companies have to make many fundamental decisions. The pro-curement of new buses is not enough: For the conversion to electrical energy in the form of a battery or hydrogen, new systemic approaches are necessary: tank and charging concepts, depot design, parking and IT systems for disposition taking into account the range or Tank and loading capacities must be designed. New space has to be found, new security areas have to be designated, the staff has to be retrained. It is therefore time to exchange experiences on operational and technical implementation, the latest developments, successfully introduced processes - perhaps also errors - as well as further training for employees and other topics. The ElekBu offers exchange opportunities with manufacturers and service providers and shows the potential of current and new technology and concepts.
The publication of the federal funding program for the procurement of e-buses is ex-pected in January, immediately before the VDV electric bus conference and the exhi-bition ElekBu: a volume of up to 800 million euros is available for the period up to 2024. The program intends to provide funding of 80 percent of the additional costs of vehicles and 40 percent of the infrastructure - which can be combined with state subsidies. In order to make the right decisions about the system change and to learn from each other in the industry, the exchange of experiences is now crucial.
Our combined event offers the ideal environment to find the right technology and as-sociated funding programs for your own company.
