Fast charging allows also 24 x 7 continuous operation without the bus returning to depot also in demanding traffic and weather conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finnish electric bus manufacturer Linkker announces the launch of LinkDrive retrofit kit, which enables the conversion of diesel buses to electric in order to allow faster transition to emission-free public transport.
