ABB wins 1 st commercial order<br />
for breakthrough 15-second flash<br />
charging technology to enable<br />
CO2-free public transport in Geneva<br />
ZURICH, SWITZERLAND, <strong>July</strong><br />
15, <strong>2016</strong> – ABB has been awarded<br />
orders totaling more than $16 million<br />
by Transports Publics Genevois<br />
(TPG), Geneva’s public transport<br />
operator, and Swiss bus manufacturer<br />
HESS, to provide flash charging<br />
and on-board electric vehicle<br />
technology for 12 TOSA (Trolleybus<br />
Optimisation Système Alimentation)<br />
fully electric buses (e-buses)<br />
which will run on Line 23, connecting<br />
Geneva’s airport with suburban<br />
Geneva. The e-buses can help save<br />
as much as 1,000 tons of carbon dioxide<br />
per year, when compared with<br />
existing diesel buses.<br />
ABB will deliver and deploy 13<br />
flash-charging stations along an<br />
urban transit bus route, as well as<br />
three terminal and four depot feeding<br />
stations. This will be the world’s<br />
fastest flash-charging connection<br />
technology taking less than 1 second<br />
to connect the bus to the charging<br />
point. The onboard batteries can<br />
then be charged in 15 seconds with<br />
a 600-kilowatt boost of power at the<br />
bus stop. A further 4 to 5 minute<br />
charge at the terminus at the end of<br />
the line enables a full recharge of the<br />
batteries. The innovative technology<br />
was developed by ABB engineers in<br />
Switzerland.<br />
“We are proud of this breakthrough<br />
technology to support<br />
Geneva’s vision of providing a silent<br />
and zero-emission urban mass<br />
TOSA bus – Revolutionary technology requires no overhead lines and offers silent and zeroemission<br />
mass transit solution as a viable alternative to diesel buses, providing a model for future<br />
urban transportation<br />
