GodEnergi, which has more than 14 years of experience with electric vehicle infrastructure in the Nordics, particularly in Denmark, will lease, sell, install and service Ekoenergetyka’s chargers. The company has already installed more than 6,000 charging stations, including Ekoenergetyka products, at municipal bus depots, Ekoenergetyka says.

Ekoenergetyka – GodEnergi deal

Established in 2009, Ekoenergetyka grew out of an academic research project by co-founders Bartosz Kubik and Maciej Wojeński. The company now employs more than 1,000 people and supplies 20% of Europe’s charging stations for municipal buses, according to figures from the company itself.

Ekoenergetyka’s expansion drive is backed by Enterprise Investors, a leading Central European private equity fund, which took a significant minority stake last year. The fund has announced plans to invest more than €45 million in e-mobility projects.

Technicians from GodEnergi participated in training at the manufacturer’s headquarters in Zielona Góra, Poland, in November, gaining essential knowledge about how the chargers are built and insights on how to install, activate, and modify them.

Ekoenergetyka is creating strong distribution partnerships across Europe to support its move into the market for passenger-car chargers.

“We are proud to have GodEnergi as a part of our network of Service Partners,” said Krzysztof Sitko, Director of Ekoenergetyka Service Center. “GodEnergi has a lot of experience and high competence with charging infrastructure. It’s a great company to realize a project of transport electrification in the Nordic region.

“The collaboration with Ekoenergetyka is in line with our ambitions to offer innovative, sustainable charging infrastructure in the Nordic electric transport sector,” said GodEnergi Founder and CEO Jan Darville. “It is gratifying to add Ekoenergetyka to our portfolio of solutions. We feel a great deal of support and a true partnership approach, because we not only get a product, but also valuable know-how and problem-free product delivery.”

First Bus has the ambition of reaching a zero-emission bus fleet by 2035. 

Openreach joins the ranks of DPD and Police Scotland, plugging into this innovative shared infrastructure initiative from one of the UK’s largest bus operators.

First Bus – Openreach to use chargers in bus depots

The initial phase of the partnership will witness up to 30 Openreach Electric Vehicles from its fleet charging at First Bus depots in Glasgow, Aberdeen, and Leicester while buses are in service. This enables Openreach engineers to cover more ground, reduce their environmental impact, and dedicate more time to the needs of their customers. 

Currently, Openreach has more than 3,000 electric vehicles in its fleet – but it is aiming to convert all its diesel fleet to zero emissions by 2031 and stands as a founding member of EV100, a global initiative uniting companies dedicated to accelerating the transition to electric vehicles this decade.  

Faizan Ahmad, Decarbonisation Programme Director at First Bus, said: “We’re excited about this collaboration, showcasing the power of teamwork to reduce carbon emissions and improve air quality in the communities we serve. The shift to electric is a journey for businesses nationwide, and we are offering a smart, community-friendly solution that’s simple, effective, and benefits everyone.” 

Robert Thorburn, Openreach Scotland’s Partnership Director, said: “We are excited to try a new approach with First Bus that can potentially help both our businesses. As two major fleet operators in the UK, it makes sense for us to explore the most efficient ways to power up our electric vans and buses. First Bus has made a massive investment in charging infrastructure and using their empty stations to juice up our vans will take pressure off public charge points. Our engineers often live in flats or apartments where charging is not yet an option, so this will make life easier for them too. It is all about learning and trying new, sustainable ways of working. There are many hurdles on the low carbon journey, and businesses need to join forces to overcome them, help drive wider adoption of electric vehicles and talk to government on issues like charging infrastructure availability.” 

Andrew Kirkby, Head of Fleet Sustainability at BT Group, added: “We are constantly looking at new options that can help us the transition of one of the largest commercial fleets in the UK to electric vehicles, which will be vital to achieving our goal of being a carbon net-zero business by March 2031. Enabling UK-wide charging infrastructure will be a key part of how we achieve this, and we welcome trials that will help accelerate the removal of diesel vehicles from our fleet.”

The cooperation is initially scheduled to run for three years and is not just limited to logistics. ABB E-mobility has recently signed a similar agreement with another brand within the TRATON Group, Scania.

On the same topic, MAN Truck & Bus had previously joined the NEFTON research project, funded by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection and aimed at analyzing the system consisting of a fully electric truck, charging station and grid connection and design it for various applications in long-distance transport.

MAN and ABB joining together for megawatt charging

The basis for megawatt charging is Ethernet communication, which is being used for the first time in electromobility. Early software and interoperability tests with vehicles and charging stations should help to establish reliable products as quickly as possible in an emerging market environment.

“High charging performance, reliable technology and customer confidence – these are the prerequisites for the success of electromobility in heavy goods and long-distance passenger transport. By working together with MAN right from the early product phase, we can respond even better to the needs of our customers. By 2025, we want to bring a product to the market that meets the requirements of logistics,” added Floris van de Klashorst, Senior Vice President Products & Hardware Platforms at ABB E-mobility.

The bidirectional charging trial project for medium-sized vehicles such as buses, and heavy-duty vehicles like transport trucks, is the first of its kind in the province, and the country. Compared to other back-up generation, these medium-sized vehicles can be mobilized much faster than traditional sources like diesel generators and they are far cleaner.

The V2G pilot project is fully commissioned and operational over the next 2 weeks, participating in a variety of grid programs while creating a V2G road map for BC Hydro and laying the foundation for distributed V2G charging hubs throughout North America.  

An attempt to monetize electric vehicles’ fleets

To this extent, BC Hydro says it has successfully tested a 60-kilowatt charger connecting a Lion Electric school bus from Lynch Bus Lines. “The typical bus battery holds 66 kilowatts of electricity – or enough to power 24 single family electrically-heated homes for almost two hours”, BC Hydro states. And adds: “Today, B.C. has thousands buses on its roads. If 1,000 buses were converted to electric, the buses could power 24,000 homes for two hours“.

Fermata Energy’s bidirectional charging platform enables the parked electric buses to be utilized as mobile batteries with stored energy discharged to mitigate peak energy demand, send power back to the grid, lower the vehicles’ total cost of ownership and create value for electric fleet operators. The pilot is indeed designed to test the technical feasibility of bidirectional charging and mobile grid infrastructure, opening up the opportunity to monetize electric fleets.

Fermata Energy points out that “CTCE electric buses, which stand idle many hours each day, can become valuable mobile power plants, allowing utilities, such as BC Hydro, to leverage power from the bidirectionally-enabled electric vehicle during peak periods to offset the grid. This will be especially crucial during inclement weather and natural disasters when extreme pressure on the grid creates the potential for outages”.

Josie Osborne, Minister of Energy Mines and Low Carbon Innovation. “The rapid rise in electric vehicle sales in recent years means we can expect to see up to 900,000 EVs in use in the next decade, and innovative vehicle-to-grid energy solutions could expand the use of EVs even further to provide more benefits to British Columbians.”

“The average car is parked 95 per cent of the time, and with of the evolution of technology solutions like vehicle-to-grid, stationary vehicles hold the potential to become mobile batteries, powered by clean and affordable electricity,” said Chris O’Riley, President and CEO of BC Hydro. “We are grateful to the Province for their support and funding, and we are proud to be working with our partners at Powertech and Coast to Coast Experiences to trial a technology that has the exciting potential to benefit communities right across B.C.”

“This project implements an exciting milestone for Fermata Energy and the V2G industry as we successfully demonstrate bidirectional charging on the Combined Charging Standard (CCS1), which has been widely adopted in the North American market. Our integration with Lion Electric and BorgWarner allows us to leverage our AI-driven cloud-based V2X software platform to determine where power is needed most as we support CTCE in maximizing the value of their electric fleet,” says Tony Posawatz,  CEO of Fermata Energy. “In collaboration with Powertech Labs and BC Hydro, this pilot is a great opportunity to capitalize on existing resources to build a stronger grid, create additional sources, and ultimately provide grid stability and economic value to ratepayers.”

“This technology offers a host of new opportunities for British Columbians – everything from feeding electricity from your personal vehicle back to your home during a power outage to powering homes off-grid in times of need,” said Pierre Poulain, President and CEO of Powertech Labs. “But bidirectional charging hubs for medium-sized vehicles and even larger vehicles in the future opens the door to so many more benefits, and as one of the largest testing and research labs in North America, Powertech is proud to be part of this first-of-its-kind trial in Canada.”

“Determined to electrify our entire fleet in North America, we are excited to be creating grid infrastructure solutions,” said Robby Safrata, CEO of Coast to Coast Experiences. “This technology will enable commercial electric fleet operators, when their vehicles are sitting idle, to create a high-power, mobile, bi-directional power plan that can support grid reliance and power homes and buildings.”

Owing to the complexity of fleet electrification, Enel X is on a mission to simplify the transition managing every stage of the process, from the preliminary stages of consulting, design and financing, to the supply and management of vehicles and infrastructure, and the provision of green energy and IT (aka Intelligent Transportation) software solutions for monitoring and managing the operations (Enel X’s modular “e-Bus as-a-service” solution).

The inherent complexity of this process even reflects in the need to manage operations in the smartest way maximizing the benefits of the transition itself, thus reducing energy consumption, minimizing operating costs and optimizing service efficiency.

The role of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)

The process of charging a BEB (Battery Electric Bus) is very different from the classic ICE bus refuelling process. A fleet of electric vehicles requires the introduction of new items into the system (i.e., the charging infrastructure), the renewal and adaptation of existing processes and the implementation of new business processes, as well as more technical parameters and variables to be considered (like battery capacity and health, energy costs, charging rate, road topology and road conditions, and more).

Hence, the planning and management of daily operations require a large amount of data as well as the ability to leverage this data for strategic scheduling of charging sessions and for strategic decision making. In this regard, the role of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) is critical to collect and process that data in order to implement optimal energy and charging management strategies.

Beyond green energy: Enel X’s software solutions for electric fleets

Enel X has developed a dedicated system of software solutions to manage and optimize electric fleets’ operations. This system is designed not just to support and secure the management of the vehicles during charging, but also to guarantee and assist the performance of each vehicle throughout its daily service block by enabling real-time supervision and intervening measures.

The available solutions revolve around 2 main pillars:

1. Charging infrastructure management, involves functionalities which allow for real-time remote monitoring of vehicles, drivers, charging stations and charging sessions within one or more depots. This solution enables operators to manage multiple charging stations and charge multiple vehicles simultaneously, while supervising energy consumption. Moreover, integrating the scheduled vehicle blocks and the desired level of SoC (State of Charge), operators can schedule charging sessions calibrated according to the actual charging needs of each vehicle, avoiding waste of energy.
   
2. Smart charging services, an ecosystem of algorithms designed to optimize operations and queue management, generating operational efficiency and savings in electricity costs. This modular solution includes:

• Load optimization algorithms enabling efficient management of site’s energy demand by balancing load among charging stations, without exceeding a specific power limit.
• Charge prioritization algorithms which allow to distribute energy among charging stations setting charging sessions’ queue according to specific priority logics; for instance, it allows vehicles to be charged based on their scheduled departure time or based on their time of arrival (i.e., FIFO logic).
• Tariff optimization algorithm allows to schedule charging sessions taking in consideration vehicles’ charging needs and electricity rates together, so as to ensure savings on the electricity bill.

Moreover, Enel X’s digital offering is set up to integrate additional core functionalities provided by leading market experts, such as the Fleet Scheduling Suite to automatically share the scheduled vehicle blocks; the Fleet Management System (FMS) for real-time monitoring of the entire electric fleet; and the Battery Diagnostics System to continuously evaluate the real field data of on-board batteries.

All main data and information collected from the assets (i.e., chargers, vehicles, on-board batteries) and related functionalities are made available through an integrated web-based dashboard, a user-friendly interface designed to supervise all parameters and all assets in a simple way.

The importance of a Battery Diagnostics System

As previously observed,the operations of electric buses necessarily involve consideration of new critical components, above all the battery system which is the most valuable and most expensive component of an electric bus, accounting for more than one third of its acquisition costs. This makes it essential for operators and managers of electric fleets to equip themselves with tools to monitor the life cycle of batteries, to regularly check their state of health, stress level and anomalies, as well as to assess the residual value of batteries and predict their end of life, in order to optimize their use and possibly extend their life cycle.  

Considering the value of this component, Enel X integrates a dedicated Battery Diagnostics System (BDS) for real-time monitoring of on-board batteries, like the successful implementation in the first project in Mexico. Through a strategic collaboration with the esteemed German company volytica diagnostics GmbH, the platform gains enhanced functionalities tailored to operate fleets in a secure and optimized manner. The collaboration aims to proactively prevent any abnormal behaviour of the batteries, promote transparency regarding the asset status and providing insights on preservation and performance enhancement. Through the implementation of condition monitoring, the public transport operator (PTO) gains the ability to proactively execute predictive maintenance, thus effectively avoiding unplanned downtime.

The decision for volytica’s analytics was mainly driven by their prolonged experiences as well as the seamless data integration of battery KPI’s to Enel X’s dashboard and the included advanced functionalities as a system of notifications and alerting. 

Determining the remaining lifetime through volytica’s battery diagnostics system is not only crucial for assessing the residual value of the system but also plays a significant role in fostering sustainability for the overall project. This evaluation extends beyond current applications, exploring possibilities for second-life concepts. For example, repurposing batteries for energy storage in renewable energy projects or integrating them into electric grid stabilization systems exemplifies the multifaceted sustainability impact of this innovative approach.

Enel X’s collaboration with volytica: the case of Mexico City  

In Mexico City, the city’s transport authority Metrobús chose Enel X to start its journey to electrify its bus fleet. In February 2023, 51 new buses were introduced in the Line 3, making it the largest electric fleet of articulated buses in Latin America. Enel X provided the electrical and charging infrastructure for the fleet, installing 26 charging stations, besides the provision of the advanced charging management solutions and smart charging services to monitor charging sessions and optimize the efficiency of fleet’s operation. A hallmark of the project was the integration of an innovative Battery Diagnostics System provided by volytica, pioneer in advanced battery analytics.

 As a leading software provider, volytica reveals transparent battery health through the in-depth analysis of field data. The public transport operator in Mexico City is set to significantly benefit from the advanced real-time anomaly detection system integrated into the offering, that will play a crucial role in enhancing fleet operations and preventing accidents related to battery conditions. The project marks a successful combination of Enel X’s pledge for fleet electrification and volytica’s commitment to ensuring the safety and efficiency of public transportation.

The conversion of the depots plays a crucial role in the greening of De Lijn’s bus fleet. De Lijn will purchase some 320 to 490 charging points in the first phase, representing an investment of €15.3 million for 490 charging points.

De Lijn goes with SPIE-Ekoenergetyka and ABB

The framework agreement allows De Lijn to order a maximum of 1,600 charging points from two suppliers, SPIE-Ekoenergetyka and ABB, over a period of up to eight years. In a first partial order, De Lijn expects to order 320 to 490 charge points divided between the two suppliers.

For subsequent sub-orders, both parties will compete, De Lijn states. The allocation of the charging points will be tailored to the progress of the infrastructure works at the depots.

“The purchase of the charging infrastructure is a crucial step in this sustainable transition. We want completely emission-free driving in Flanders as soon as possible. Therefore, we continue to work on the full greening of the bus fleet and the conversion of the depots, including the necessary charging infrastructure,” said Flemish minister Lydia Peeters.

“With this framework agreement, we are taking an important next step in the electrification of our depots,” says director-general of De Lijn Ann Schoubs. “De Lijn has been purchasing exclusively electric buses since 2022.It goes without saying that these e-buses must be recharged daily.”

“We are pleased that after the successful pilot projects in Leuven and Antwerp, we can once again support De Lijn in its greening process,” says Guy Damen, sales manager e-mobility for the Belux at ABB. “We have meanwhile gained a lot of additional experience in Western Europe that we are happy to make available to De Lijn and its passengers.”

“SPIE and Ekoenergetyka join forces to guarantee high-quality installations during the development period of the sites. At the same time, we ensure that the infrastructure is maintained smoothly,” says Geert Van Inthoudt, BU Manager Infrastructure Services at SPIE Belgium.

By the end of 2023, Hochbahn will already be operating around 230 emission-free buses. By 2030 the full 1,100 bus fleet will be coverted to zero emission technologies.

Works are set to begin in December. Earthworks will then follow in January and the excavation pit will be dug in the spring.

Zero emission buses currently operate from the Alsterdorf and Hummelsbüttel depots. The other bus depots are gradually being converted to emission-free drive systems. Other new locations are also being added: in Veddel, a pure e-bus depot is also being built with the Zusammenhub, not far from which is a new central workshop for the south of Hamburg.

New Hochbahn Meiedorf bus depot

The new bus depot in Meiedorf will cover around 28,000 square meters and will be home to around 130 solo and articulated buses. In addition to administrative and social areas, the bus depot will also include workshops and washing facilities where the buses will be prepared, serviced, repaired and maintained. The buses are parked under carports, which are equipped with the necessary charging infrastructure.

All roof surface will be fitted with photovoltaic systems and used as rainwater storage tanks. The collected rainwater is used in the car wash and then recycled.

The waste heat from the charging infrastructure is used to supply heat to the courtyard, Hochbahn states. Facades and noise barriers will be greened.

In future, the depot will provide better access to the north-east of Hamburg (especially Bergstedt, Volksdorf, Rahlstedt, Sasel and Farmsen-Berne). The buses at the Meiendorf location are stationed closer to their actual operating points, which avoids unnecessary empty runs.

Jens-Günter Lang, Chief Technical Officer of HOCHBAHN: “Meiendorf will be the first bus depot without diesel buses. Only environmentally friendly e-buses will start from here. To convert the bus fleet to emission-free drives, not only enough buses have to be purchased, but the entire infrastructure also has to be rebuilt. We are very pleased that we have found an ideal location in Meiendorf so that environmentally friendly e-buses will also be on the road in the north-east of Hamburg from 2026.”
