Siemens Smart Infrastructure has signed a contract with Unibuss, a leading bus operator in the Oslo region

Siemens Smart Infrastructure has been awarded a contract with Unibuss, one of the leading bus operators in the Oslo region, to provide the Depot360 solution, which ensures optimized fleet operations and charging infrastructure, at two separate operator depots.

This is Siemens’ first order in the Scandinavian country.

With Depot360’s smart charging capabilities, Siemens is able to ensure that the right amount of energy is delivered to the vehicles without exceeding the capacity of the network, while enabling remote monitoring of the buses’ charging status to ensure stable operations and reduced energy consumption. Depot360 is part of Siemens Xcelerator, an open digital enterprise platform that enables customers to accelerate digital transformation more easily, quickly and at scale.

“Transitioning to electric fleets is a vital step for Norway to achieve its ambitious climate goals and for setting a global example for greener transportation,” said Henrik Anderberg, Technical Director, Unibuss. “So too is implementing the right technology in order to optimize the efficiency of electric fleets. With Depot360 Managed Services, we can enhance the efficiency of our operations by optimizing charging, reducing energy costs, and improving route completion rates. Such streamlining of operations supports our sustainability goals, helping us contribute to a greener future and reduce our carbon footprint in public transportation.”

“As we look to accelerate the electrification of transportation, Siemens is keen to innovate with forward-thinking organizations such as Unibuss,” said Alan White, Head of Emerging Transportation Platforms at Siemens Smart Infrastructure. “Depot360 Managed Services, part of our digital business platform Siemens Xcelerator, will be a game-changer for Unibuss’ operations. We look forward to demonstrating how our data-driven platform and expert NOC team can deliver more reliable, efficient, and transparent fleet operations, even in the most challenging environments.”
