Electric Buses – a Solution for the Urban Transport
As the car number continues to increase, the pressure on the urban space and the deterioration of the local air quality become more and more tipical problems, which the cities are faced with. Another project is : “Electric Bus for Passengers “, designed as a modern transport service especially developed for delimited spaces, such as fairs and exhibitions. The project started together with ROMEXPO - the Romanian biggest exhibition organizer as a partner, beneficiary and co-financial agent, interested in developing an ecologic alternative for transport of passengers inside the fair campus.
RATB - the main transport operator from Bucharest, is another partner in the project, wishing to study the possibility of implementing the electric urban transport .
With this project, ICPE presented at the Bucharest International Technical Fair (TIB-2006), an electric bus, with the following main technical characteristics:
- D.C. permanent magnet motor, 15 kW / 2000 rpm
- Supply voltage: 168 V DC (14 lead acid VRLA batteries, 12V/120 Ah each)
- Electronic converter
- Regenerative breaking
Performances of the bus are:
- top speed: 25-30 km/h
- payload: 12 persons (1000 kg)
- range: 60 km (2 hours at top speed / max. payload)
