🚗 ⚡ Our latest venture, the REVEAL project presents a comprehensive evaluation of the advancements and strategies driving EV adoption in regions covering 17 local transport authorities. With a primary focus on assessing EV uptake and infrastructure deployment, it illuminates the opportunities and challenges that are shaping the transition to sustainable transportation. ⚡🚗 ⚙REVEAL offers a comprehensive analysis of electric vehicle (EV) strategies and provides customised action plans for local transport authorities. This initiative plays a pivotal role in driving positive change by supporting the development of EV infrastructure and empowering communities to adopt eco-friendly transportation solutions.

why 25 kv is required in Contact wire?

Benefits of 25 KV Pantograph Support Insulators: They provide the safety and dependability of the railway electrification system by preventing current leakage and lowering the likelihood of electrical breakdowns.

Electric bus manufacturer Proterra went under in 2023, leaving its customers high and dry. One of those customers was BC Transit, who had previously ordered 10 electric buses from them as a first step to an electrified fleet. In fact, they'd already had a demo bus on the ground in Victoria. In the bankruptcy aftermath, another firm stepped in to purchase Proterra's assets, but they won't be completing BC Transit's order. Through the difficulties, however, BC Transit has announced that they intend to search for a new provider - and that their goal of electrifying their fleet by 2040 is still very much alive. https://pst.cr/CDAqi . . . #victoria #bc #bctransit #ev #zev #transit #publictransit #electricbus #electrification #proterra #bankruptcy #greengoals

🚗🔌 As the number of electric vehicles on the road continues to grow, the need for efficient and accessible charging stations becomes a top priority. Check out Belden's white paper to learn more about the importance of upgrading charging infrastructures. #EVs #ChargingStations #SustainableFuture #Belden #Letsbuildthefuture

🔌⚡ Driving Forward: UK Government's £185 Million Boost Accelerates Electric Vehicle Chargepoint Rollout Nationwide! ⚡🔌 Department for Transport (DfT), United Kingdom has just announced a significant boost in funding through its Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) fund, aimed at enhancing EV charging accessibility across the UK. With over £185 million allocated to 44 additional councils, this funding injection is set to revolutionise the EV landscape. More charging points mean easier access for drivers, whether they're at home, at work, or on the go. This move aligns with the government's commitment to sustainability and clean energy, encouraging even more drivers to make the switch to electric vehicles. Here are some key highlights: ✅ £381 million LEVI fund empowering councils to strategically install chargepoints. ✅ Expansion of EV ChargePoint grants to support those without driveways or dedicated parking. ✅ Collaboration between government and industry through the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Forum, chaired by ministers and AA President Edmund V King OBE Let's drive towards a greener, more sustainable future together! 🌱🚗 #EVInfrastructure #Sustainability #CleanEnergy #LEVI #GreenFuture

Driving into the future: electrifying heavy vehicles 🚛🔌 Hot topic. How can we ensure a smooth transition to 100% Electric Trucks? 🤔 There are most probably different options in terms of EV charging technology. In this interesting Bloomberg article, discover how Australia is poised to revolutionise heavy vehicle transport thanks to an innovative trial conducted by Swinburne University and other partners, including Siemens AG and Sea Electric. This innovation introduces roads that wirelessly charge electric trucks, overcoming the challenge of vast distances and ushering a new era of sustainable transport. This initiative is more than just about reducing emissions; it's about creating a smarter, grid-friendly future for heavy vehicles. At FLEXeCHARGE, we're excited to see the fast-growing interest and deployment of charging infrastructure for heavy vehicles. We clearly intend to contribute to making this new wave of electrification more efficient and sustainable, thanks to our innovative load and energy management software. Our technology ensures the seamless integration of EV charging with the grid, promoting the adoption of green transport solutions that are sustainable and efficient - the bigger the consumption of kWh, the more relevant we become. Making long-haul trucking cleaner and more sustainable is one of the most exciting perspectives in the coming year. And we have already begun the work. Reach out if you want to hear how we electrify the journey towards a cleaner, and financially sustainable heavy transport 🚛⚡ #Electrification #Innovation #Sustainability #EVCharging #FlexeCharge #ElectricVehicles Here the full Article: https://lnkd.in/dpmy5ece

🚗🔋"I don't have off-street parking, so I can't have an EV" 🚗⚖"I've heard they are too heavy, and damage roads" 🔋⛔"I'm really unsure of range, what do I do if it runs out of charge?" We know that there are challenges and concerns around the take-up of #ElectricVehicles. To support individuals and communities across Cumbria in the transition to Electric Vehicles, we are running a new project: Electric Vehicles Made Easy. We held a pilot event in Penrith, earlier this year, and have a free webinar scheduled for October 21 2024. To help us, and our partners, with this project we have developed a survey which includes a section about the vehicles in your household, any experience you may have of EVs, any challenges you perceive around switching to electric and what support you would value at a local level. Zero Carbon Cumbria are working with several different stakeholders to support Cumbria in the transition to EV, including Electricity North West, the two local authorities for Cumbria (Westmorland and Furness Council and Cumberland Council) and Charge my Street. Please help us to help you by answering this short set of questions. It will take just a few minutes. As an added incentive, we’ll put all respondents into a prize draw to win a £50 voucher for Basecamp North Lakes. Take the survey here: https://lnkd.in/eUWkTiHC

Join our Director of Transportation Decarbonization, Margarita Parra Cobaleda, in Detroit at Huntington Place on September 25th at 11am - 12:15pm. She will be moderating a discussion on Electric School Buses as Energy Resources for #RoadmapForth, where industry leaders convene to chart the future of #electric transportation. The United States is investing billions of dollars to electrify its school bus fleet. Unlocking the value of their batteries for energy resilience and the grid will further accelerate the transition to clean transportation. This panel will focus on how to rapidly scale up these benefits. Roadmapforth.org
