The transport company\u2019s charging infrastructure currently consists of six 150 KW fast chargers. The maintenance of the electric vehicles is supported by a completely renovated workshop hall with a modern electric roof work station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further <strong>expansion of the charging infrastructure is planned for 2024 and 2025<\/strong> in order to meet the charging requirements of the <strong>15 new all-electric vehicles that have already been ordered<\/strong>. These include two articulated buses and <strong>12 solo buses from MAN<\/strong> as well as a minibus based on the Mercedes Sprinter, CarMedialab sums up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">V\u00f6lklinger Verkehrsbetriebe to rely on CarMedialab<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>V\u00f6lklinger Verkehrsbetriebe is already a long-standing customer of INIT, the parent company of CarMedialab, and uses the eMOBILE-PLAN system for bus planning with the integrated optimization tool MOBILEopti as well as the depot management system MOBILE-DMS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the introduction of\u00a0MOBILEcharge, &#8220;charge management has also been taken to a new level &#8211; CarMedialab says -. The system consists of 22 charging points, including 1 mobile charging point from Temes, <strong>6 charging points from Siemens and 15 charging points from Ekoenergetyka<\/strong>. These charging points enable optimized and strategic charging planning to maximize bus availability and reduce operating costs, among many other benefits. With the addition of MOBILEcharge, V\u00f6lklinger Verkehrsbetriebe can benefit from further advantages of INIT\u2019s integrated solution. By<strong> linking charge management and depot management<\/strong>, an optimized charging plan can be created to ensure that all vehicles only receive the charge they need to complete the next round, minimizing peak loads and overall energy costs. It can also ensure that vehicles are automatically rescheduled if a charge cannot be completed properly. In addition, parking spaces at the charging infrastructure can be allocated in a vehicle-optimized manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe switch to e-mobility in public transport improves the quality of life of the citizens of V\u00f6lklingen and the region in a sustainable way \u2013 and also motivates others to switch to a climate-neutral means of transport&#8221;, says <strong>Thorsten
