But it&#8217;s not all. Siemens also provided a SIVACON S8 LV board, LV busbar and harmonic filtering to ensure the relative power needs of the depot and charging stations are met.\u00a0Finally, 14-years service level agreement and warranty is part of the contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1036\" height=\"583\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sustainable-bus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/SI-eMobility-London-Busse-Depot-1_small.png\" alt=\"tuk electric bus line london\" class=\"wp-image-33578\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sustainable-bus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/SI-eMobility-London-Busse-Depot-1_small.png 1036w, https:\/\/www.sustainable-bus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/SI-eMobility-London-Busse-Depot-1_small-960x540.png 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1036px) 100vw, 1036px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Siemens Financial Services constructed a tailored, \u2018smart\u2019 financing package \u2013 embracing consultancy, technology, software, grid connection and ongoing maintenance structured across 14 years in line with the company\u2019s contract with Transport for London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Alastair Willis<\/strong>, Commercial Director, TUK, comments, \u201cWith the strength of financial support through Siemens Financial Services, Transport UK London Bus was able to build its electric fleet, including depot, charging infrastructure and grid connection, while minimising capital expenditure.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transport UK London Bus (former Abellio)\u00a0introduced a fleet of 29 electric double-decker buses to one of their busiest routes in London, route 63.
