"Alongside the new Yutong electric buses, ASF Como has completed a new charging facility at its Como-Lazzago depot. The site includes eight Assytech charging columns capable of charging up to 16 e-buses simultaneously. Financed 77% through PNRR and the National Strategic Plan for Sustainable Mobility (PNSMS), the system integrates with ASF's digital control center for real-time monitoring. Each charger offers between 75 and 150 kW of power, enabling full recharging in under two hours."
"With this latest delivery, ASF Como's Yutong e-bus fleet reaches 32 vehicles - 2 introduced in March 2024, 23 in September, and 7 now entering service. The full electrification of lines 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, and 11 makes Como one of the first mid-sized Italian cities to operate a predominantly electric urban service. With 10% of the total fleet and 50% of the urban fleet now fully electric, ASF will run over 1.8 million zero-emission kilometers annually."
"The Yutong E10 and E12 electric buses feature advanced HVAC systems, regenerative braking, and driver-assistance tools for real-time vehicle monitoring. Accessibility is a central focus: manual ramps for boarding, LetiSmart radio beacons for visually impaired passengers, and onboard audio-visual information systems ensure an inclusive travel experience. Safety is strengthened by internal surveillance cameras and a 360° camera providing the driver with complete traffic awareness."
ASF Como introduced seven Yutong electric buses (models E10 and E12) on November 11 for operation on the city's urban network. The Como-Lazzago depot received a new charging facility with eight Assytech columns able to charge up to 16 e-buses simultaneously, financed 77% by PNRR and PNSMS and integrated with ASF's digital control center for real-time monitoring. Chargers deliver 75–150 kW enabling full recharge in under two hours and a canopy is ready for solar panels. The Yutong fleet totals 32 vehicles, enabling full electrification of lines 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, and 11 and over 1.8 million zero-emission kilometers annually. Buses include HVAC, regenerative braking, driver-assistance, accessibility aids, and comprehensive cameras for safety.
