Schneider Electric is working with Stagecoach, the UK’s largest transport operator, as it heads towards zero emission travel.
Schneider Electric is delivering its EcoStruxure for eMobility solution to multiple Stagecoach sites across the UK.
This includes state-of-the-art ultra-rapid EV charging points, electrical distribution infrastructure, and EcoCare membership.
This will ensure the smart, reliable charging of Stagecoach’s electric bus fleet with a modular approach to meet future needs as Stagecoach’s electric fleet grows.
Schneider Electric will provide Stagecoach with:
- Medium Voltage/Low Voltage Package Substation – providing electricity from the grid in a single-source outdoor assembly tailored to Stagecoach’s specific needs
- LV Feeder Pillars – an outdoor low voltage switchboard to feed and control electricity supply
EVlink Pro DC – a flexible next-generation of EV ultra-rapid charging stations that maximise energy efficiency and uptime - EcoCare Membership – enhanced support through the harnessing of data analytics from connected assets, remote monitoring, and predictive maintenance by experts 24/7
Remote monitoring 24/7, data insights to pre-empt alarms and prevent mission-critical issues, and condition-based maintenance, will reduce the risk of downtime is reduced and ensure the continued reliability of bus services ensured.
Asset management and infrastructure director at Stagecoach Tony Cockcroft said: “Stagecoach is committed to zero emission transport and we are expanding our fleet of state-of-the art electric buses to meet our goals.
“As part of this transition, it’s vital we have the infrastructure to ensure smart, reliable charging of our fleet.
“Schneider Electric is a leader in energy transition across the public transport sector offering smart charging solutions which can adapt as we move towards the total electrification of our nationwide fleet.”
Achievements and innovations in EV charging infrastructure will be celebrated at the third annual CiTTi Awards, which will be held on 26 November 2024 at De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in London.
