The Grid-eMotion charging technologies will support in the electrification of the new bus line of the city of Genoa.
Hitachi Energy, a global technology leader that is advancing a sustainable energy future for all, won an order from Colas Rail Italia, a leader in railway infrastructure, to supply its Grid-eMotion® charging system to the Val Bisagno line, one of four new Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) lines of “4 Assi di Forza” (4 Axes of Strength) local public transport project in the city of Genoa, Italy.
The recently signed contract is relevant to the ambitious plan proposed by the Genoa City Council to fully electrify its public transport by 2025 and introduce electric buses (e-buses) to reduce private vehicle use and increase travel using public transport through an efficient, effective, safe, and reliable mobility system including more than 70 percent reserved and protected lanes along with traffic light preference technology.
