Hitachi Energy<\/strong> has been commissioned a Grid-eMotion fleet system<\/strong> to electrify Arriva’s Brixton Tramshed depot in south London<\/strong>. The same system has just been awarded an order in Berlin<\/a>. Launched in mid-2020<\/a>, the depot-based charging solution was also ordered in Swedish V\u00e4ster\u00e5s<\/a>, where a batch of e-buses from Volvo has been launched<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Infrastructure\u2019s provider Hitachi Energy has supported the web event Powering the future of public transport<\/a>, part of the Sustainable Bus Tour, that was broadcasted on 17th March (**REPLAY IS AVAILABLE<\/a>**).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Arriva recently replaced half of the 44 double-decker buses at its Brixton Tramshed depot in south London with new electric vehicles. The original Tramshed at Brixton dates back to 1892 and the depot has limited space and structurally does not support overhead charging infrastructure. With a traditional charging solution, Arriva would lose seven parking spaces, a sixth of its Brixton Tramshed fleet, and be unable to charge all the vehicles overnight, Hitachi Energy explains. <\/p>\n\n\n\nBrixton Tramshed depot to be electrified<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
