Zo wordt de elektrische bus wel heel erg leuk!

.
22 september 2015 – In Gothenburg, Zweden, rijden fonkelnieuwe elektrische stadsbussen. En om voor die bussen wat extra reclame te maken treedt Seinabo Sey, een beroemde zangers in Zweden, op in de ‘studio-stille’ bussen.

Uit een persbericht van GoteborgElectriCity
‘(…) The Silent Bus Sessions was produced to demonstrate how silent the new electric buses are – the noise level is so low that acoustic concerts and video recordings can take place onboard.
The unique collaboration that resulted in the new electric bus route is called ElectriCity and includes representatives from industry, academia and municipal and regional administrations.
“Rising noise levels represent a serious health problem in big cities around the world. That’s why we’re convinced that electric public transport in cities is the way forward. But a real difference can only be achieved if there is collaboration between vehicle manufacturers, urban planners, public transport, energy companies and academia. This collaboration is the unique strength of the ElectriCity project,” says Niklas Gustafsson, Chief Sustainability Officer, Volvo Group.
The City of Gothenburg is another partner in the project.
“This shows how creative forces meet in Gothenburg. Silent electric buses eliminate noise and exhaust gases and allow people to enjoy music and creativity on their way to work or school. Music, culture and technical development are among Gothenburg’s strengths, and it’s wonderful to see what happens when they’re combined together,” comments Anneli Hulthén, Chairman of the Municipal Executive Board, Gothenburg.

About ElectriCity
ElectriCity is a collaborative project between academia, industry and the public sector and is aimed at developing, demonstrating and evaluating new sustainable public transport systems for the future. Testing and evaluation of electric bus transport is a central part of ElectriCity. Silent, emission-free public transport can operate in places where traffic is currently banned. This opens up new possibilities for urban planning in towns and cities.

The three electric buses on the route run on renewable electricity and are energy-efficient, silent and completely emission-free. The buses’ batteries are quickly recharged at the terminal bus stops. Passengers have access to onboard wi-fi and phone charging facilities. The bus stop on Lindholmen has an indoor terminal.
Besides the three completely electric buses, the route has a number of electric hybrid buses that run on electricity for approximately 70% of the route.
In addition to the actual buses, ElectriCity develops and tests new bus stop systems, transport management systems, safety concepts and energy supply systems. (…)’
