 Promoting quiet, clean urban transport using Overhead Electric, Zero Emission Trolleybuses - email The Electric Tbus Group updated 12/3/20 eQdigital |
 With the limits of battery buses becoming more understood and the benefits of IMC trolleybuses making diesel bus replacement into the suburbs more realistic, there is an increasing need for 12m single trolleys, such as a new Hess model, the lighTram 12DC, ordered for Biel. Hess  Pescara's largely segregated 8km trolleybus route is due to start operating this year, following extensive technical tests. Using six Exquicity 18 T articulated trolleybuses built by Van Hool, the route, branded 'La Verde', is protected by traffic light preference at six intersections. ilPescara  Twenty Praha Skoda Solaris 24m trolleybuses now operate line 59, replacing diesel bus 119 to the Vaclav Havel airport from Nádraži Veleslavin. The route is 8km and only wired for 50% of it's length. The journey takes about 17 minutes and is available every 3-10 minutes. Solaris  Lucerne has ordered 46 18m and 7 24m Hess trolleybuses to replace older vehicles, extend the existing network and open two new routes. Hess  Arnhem has ten Solaris Trollino 18 trolleybuses with the distictive Metro front design. Fitted with a 240 kW motor and battery power of about 90 kWh, the vehicles can travel more than 12 kilometers without the need for overhead recharging - ideal for the 17km route to Wageningen, replacing diesel buses and running a battery share of 75%. Mikolaj-Bartlomiejczyk  Last years 15 Yutong trolleybuses for Yerevan have been followed by 15 Zhongtong LCK6126E trolleys, as part of a long term plan to acquire over 100 trolleybuses to replace and extend the fleet. Yerevan  35 Skoda 33Tr trolleybuses, with an offwire range of 12km, are being delivered to the South Bohemian metropolis of Ceské Budejovice with a total value exceeding EUR 28.5 million. Delivery will be complete in 2026 . Skoda  Turkish producer Bozankaya has introduced a new range of 12-18-24m trolleybuses with orders for 33 from Timisoara, Romania. 8 units of 12-meter and 25 units of 18-meter trolleybuses will have the ability to charge at up to 60kw from the overhead. Bozankaya  New manufacturer Volgabus has recieved it's first orders for 19 trolleybuses for Izhevsk and 16 trolleybuses for Khabarovsk. With battery capacity of 102 Ah and a stated consumption of 62 kWh, offwire travel should be around 30 km. Amir Zakirov  The new dedicated trolleybus system for Verona of a 24.6 km network of 4 routes, using 39 IMC trolleys, with an automatic approach to the stops, is being built. The project will cost €156 million with the European Investment Bank providing a €62 million loan. Opening is expected in 2025-6. FILOVIA e Verona si muove  Bern has ordered 13 double-articulated trolleybuses from Hess for use on route 10 to Köniz/Schliern and so provide 30% more capacity. The lighTram 25 DCs have 48 seats and heat pump air conditioning using environmentally sound refrigerant. Bernmobil  Landskrona, in Sweden, has renewed it's first fleet with 3 new Solaris trolleybuses after 21 years of service. Headline specifications include more powerful IMC batteries; a system trialled at Landskrona 11 years ago. Neimedia  Produced in Moscow, the Sinara 6254 was first shown at the XIII International Industrial Exhibition Innoprom. Claimed to have an offline range of 80km, 169 are destined for Chelyabinsk. Tass  Brazilian company Eletra has produced a 21.7m prototype trolleybus for the future 17.5 km long BRT service between Sao Bernardo do Campo and Sacoma, part of the trolleybus network in southern Sao Paulo. Eletra  More studies have indicated that IMC or dynamic charging trolleybuses offer considerable advantages over battery e-buses economically, environmentally and of efficiency. So much so that presentations at the 7th trolley:motion electric bus conference showed the intension of Marburg in Germany to open a new system by 2030.
