2023-09 SUSTAINABLE BUS
A new issue of Sustainable Bus is out today. In this upcoming edition, we’ve curated a diverse and comprehensive range of topics that spotlight the latest developments in the world of sustainable mobility. From cutting-edge technological advancements to market insights and industry transformations, this issue promises to be a captivating exploration of the future of public transportation. What you could fine inside? Well, a market insight will offer you a detailed look at the European e-bus market, providing you with a comprehensive understanding of the mid-2023 results. The leading e-bus market in Europe is still UK: therefore, we focused our attention on that specific market with a report that sums up strategies, focus, goals of the most prominent industry players. A technology spotlight on the delicate topic of batteries, authored by Claudius Jehle, look at battery management and strategies to ensure the smooth and cost-effective operation of electric buses (with a focus on a case study from BVG). Among the pillars of our upcoming issue you’ll find a detailed journey around the European industrial bus&coach landscape. Goal? Providing our readers insights into the changing dynamics among key OEMs in the region. We’ll be then taking you behind the scenes at the Yutong factory in Zhengzhou, that we had the pleasure of visiting in June. Let’s then delve into Iveco Bus’s growing efforts in the zero-emission bus field. Finally, last but not least, a nearly-20-pages comparison between seven 12-meter battery-electric buses, gathered together in Bonn also this year by the German magazine Omnibusspiegel. You’ll find both established players and newcomers side by side: Ebusco 3.0, Hess lighTram 12m, Ikarus 120e, Iveco E-Way, Mercedes eCitaro with new batteries, Otokar e-Kent C, Quantron Cizaris 12 Ev.

IRIZAR TO UNVEIL THE I6S EFFICIENT HYDROGEN AT <strong>BUS</strong>WORLD<br />
Time for H2-powered coach<br />
IT’S THE FIRST HYDROGEN-POWERED COACH BY A EUROPEAN OEM<br />
Among the finalists for the<br />
Sustainable Bus Awards 2024<br />
(handovering ceremony at<br />
Busworld!), one model stands<br />
out: the Irizar i6S Efficient<br />
Hydrogen. Busworld <strong>2023</strong> may<br />
then go down in the annals for<br />
hosting the first presentation of<br />
a hydrogen-powered coach by a<br />
European OEM (although also<br />
Temsa is going to be active in<br />
this segment...).<br />
No additional specifications<br />
have been released at the moment<br />
as this magazine is set to<br />
go to print, except for the picture<br />
shared by the group.<br />
According to a report by Interact<br />
Analysis, 74 percent<br />
of coaches are estimated to<br />
be non-electrified in 2030 in<br />
EMEA. In Europe, three initiatives<br />
focusing on the development<br />
of fuel cell coaches have<br />
been announced so far.<br />
Firstly, FlixBus launched the HyFleet project in collaboration with<br />
partners Freudenberg Fuel Cell e-Power Systems and ZF in 2021.<br />
“A European bus manufacturer will also join the project in the future”,<br />
it was stated at the time. Secondly, the CoacHyfied project,<br />
led by the service provider FEV Group, was launched in March<br />
2021 with partners including Ballard, ElringKlinger, Otokar, Engie.<br />
Lastly, Daimler Buses has announced its intention to offer all-electric<br />
coaches under its Mercedes-Benz and Setra brands by the end<br />
of this decade within the Electrified Coach project (ELCH).<br />
Irizar has submitted this model at<br />
the open call that initiates the Sustainable<br />
Bus Award each year. The<br />
rules of the prize stipulate that the<br />
nominated models must be on the<br />
market by the end of the subsequent<br />
year...<br />

CATL NEW BATTERY ON THE LAUNCHING PAD<br />
The most important battery supplier worldwide,<br />
CATL, has developed a superfast charging LFP battery<br />
named Shenxing. The new product, announced<br />
in September <strong>2023</strong>, is capable of delivering 400<br />
km of driving range with a 10-minute charge as<br />
well as a range of over 700 km on a single full<br />
charge, according to the manufacturer itself.<br />
In the e-bus business, CATL is the battery supplier<br />
of many OEMs, such as Solaris, Rampini, Yutong,<br />
Ikarus and Quantron. The group has recently appointed<br />
Markus Baum as Chief Commercial Officer<br />
Europe, while Mathias Hüttenrauch started as CEO<br />
CATL Europe in March <strong>2023</strong>.<br />
More into details, Shenxing leverages the super<br />
electronic network cathode technology and fully<br />
nano-crystallized LFP cathode material to create a<br />
super electronic network, which facilitates the extraction<br />
of lithium ions and the rapid response to<br />
charging signals.<br />
CATL Shenxing is expected to be produced also in<br />
Europe, namely in Germany and Hungary, where<br />
the Chinese giant is building an up-to-date Gigafactory<br />
located in Debrecen.<br />
