ABB R & D within 15s to complete the electric bus charging

ABB Group of Switzerland has developed a new electric bus technology that can partially charge the car in 15 seconds to support the bus station between them.

ABB has developed a technology called "Flash Charging," a 135-passenger electric bus that charges each station on the driving route as a charging point. Vehicles stop at a single time, you can charge through the charging point for a short time, the charging rate of 400 kilowatts. The vehicle's charging facility is located above the roof. The charging point is connected to the laser-controlled mobile arm and can charge the car battery once in 15 seconds. The concept is somewhat similar to a trolleybus in China, but without the need to lay long wires, this minimized design will help to protect the urban environment and the surrounding landscape.

The idea behind this design is to allow the electric bus to be powered enough to travel to the next charging station after a single charge. The line terminal will allow for a long period of full charge, while a full charge will allow the car to travel longer distances. According to ABB, a full charge takes approximately 3-4 minutes depending on the charge. In addition to faster charging times, the system also uses a carbon free emission solution called TOSA to get electricity from a clean hydroelectric station.

ABB initially planned to apply this technology between Geneva Airport and Palexpo International Convention Center. If the test is successful, it will be deployed to the bus system. This is more cost effective and environmentally friendly.

ABB Chief Executive Officer CTO Klaus Rytoft said: "With flash charging, we are trying out a new generation of electric buses for mass transport in the city, and this project will provide more flexibility, lower costs, Lower public transportation systems pave the way for less pollution and noise.
