ABB powers 450kW fast charging for electric buses in Gothenburg

ABB, global leader in EV charging solutions, has announced a project with Volvo Buses, Västtrafik and Göteborg Energi to bring its 450kW Opportunity Charging (OppCharge) system to the city of Gothenburg.

Due for delivery in spring 2018, two fast chargers will be installed at Sahlgrenska University Hospital and Eriksberg Square, on line 16 of the city’s bus network, on which two prototype electric articulated high capacity buses from Volvo will operate.

The order comes after a successful two-year trial under the ElectriCity venture, during which 10 all-electric or partially electrified buses have run on the city’s bus route 55.

When the Volvo Ocean Race is staged in Gothenburg in June 2018, two electrically powered articulated buses will showcase the latest developments. These two prototype buses will then run on route 16, which will be equipped with charging infrastructure and bus stop facilities for electrified high-capacity traffic.

ABB is at the forefront of driving charging solutions at the cutting edge of sustainable mobility. With this order, ABB will supply the complete 450kW OppCharge system, enabling the quick and efficient charge of high passenger capacity electric buses in Gothenburg.

The chargers are part of the ABB Ability portfolio of digital solutions where cloud connectivity allows for remote diagnosis and management, ensuring reliable and efficient infrastructure for bus passengers.

ABB has provided charging solutions as part of its drive to promote sustainable mobility since 2010 and has sold more than 6,000 cloud connected DC fast-chargers around the world for passenger cars and commercial vehicles. To date, ABB has installed OppCharge systems around the world, enabling many electric buses to be charged, including installations in Canada, Luxembourg, Sweden, United Kingdom, France and Belgium during the past year.
