Mission? Providing fleet management platforms to operators, particularly with regards to electric buses.<\/p>\n<p>Now the Dutch company, in collaboration with BAE Systems, announced that it has developed a new functionality that enables fleet operators with Series-ER electric hybrid systems on transit buses to automatically switch the engine on or off in predefined geofenced areas.\u00a0BAE Systems Series-ER all-electric mode is accessible to operators via ViriCiti\u2019s online platform, where <strong>new GPS geofenced areas can be defined and edited<\/strong> in a matter of seconds, without the need of a third party, ViriCiti points out.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-9878\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sustainable-bus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/ViriCiti-All-Electric-mode-2-1024x477.jpg\" alt=\"viriciti bae systems\" width=\"1024\" height=\"477\" \/>\n<p>With\u00a0ViriCiti\u2019s cloud-based solution, as soon as a bus enters a geofenced area, a signal is sent to the engine to automatically switch off. Once the bus exits the area, the engine will automatically turn back on.<\/p>\n<h2>More electric km than before for hybrid buses<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cSeries ER technology helps cities around the world get one step closer to full zero emission operation,\u201d said <strong>Steve Trichka<\/strong>, vice president and general manager of Power and Propulsion Solutions at BAE Systems.\u00a0\u201cOur collaboration with ViriCiti provides another option for public transit agencies to pair with our Series-ER system to help them reduce emissions and improve the air quality in the areas where people live, work and visit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur intuitive web interface makes it easy for any operator to create their own EV-only areas without the help of any 3rd party\u201d\u00a0said <strong>Freek Dielissen<\/strong>, ViriCiti CEO.\u00a0\u201cDue to the fact that ViriCiti automated the all-electric mode adaption, <strong>we expect that buses will drive more electric kilometers than before<\/strong>, which is great!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BAE Systems partners with ViriCiti.
