"The system will rely on a dedicated fleet of 15 articulated 18-metre battery-electric buses, model Yutong U18, each equipped with a total battery capacity of 528 kWh. Each vehicle can accommodate up to 128 passengers, including 38 seated and 90 standing, and features two dedicated spaces for passengers with reduced mobility."
"From a technological perspective, the buses are equipped with digital vision systems replacing traditional rear-view mirrors, along with real-time monitoring platforms. Integration between vehicles, shelters, and the control centre is enabled through an AVM system supporting fleet localisation and operations management."
"The charging concept includes 600 kW pantograph-based opportunity charging at terminals and depot, alongside overnight charging at 100 kW through ceiling-mounted roll-up cable systems installed in depots, as stated by ATB."
The e-BRT project in Bergamo is progressing with 82% of infrastructure completed. It will feature a fleet of 15 articulated Yutong U18 electric buses, each with a capacity of 128 passengers. The buses include modern amenities such as USB-C charging ports and spaces for passengers with reduced mobility. The system will utilize advanced technologies like digital vision systems and real-time monitoring. Charging will occur through pantograph-based systems at terminals and overnight at depots. The route will cover approximately 30 km with 36 stops.
