ABB clinches contracts to build electric bus charging facilities

The facility will recharge electric buses in less than ten minutes.

Swiss automation firm ABB clinched contracts to build electric bus charging infrastructure that can charge the 40 single-deck electric buses that will hit the roads by early 2020, an announcement revealed.

The orders were received from BYD Singapore and ST Engineering Land Systems, two of the three companies that were awarded e-bus contracts by Land Transport Authority (LTA).

ABB’s scope of supply for ST Engineering’s 20 single-deck electric buses includes four 450kW chargers with installation, civil works, project management and commissioning. Based on the opportunity charging (OppCharge) platform, the solution will allow the electric buses to be quickly recharged in less than ten minutes at key interchanges with an automated rooftop connection.

For BYD, ABB will provide ten 150 kW overnight charging systems offering an intelligent and cost-effective solution to charge its fleet of 20 electric buses at night. Up to two electric buses can be connected and charged sequentially while parked at the depot, enabling all 20 buses to be fully charged and ready to run through the day within 4.5 hours.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
