The discussion covers the transition from diesel to electric operations, the operational challenges operators often underestimate, and why charging operations, system integration and digital operational control become increasingly important as fleets scale.
Topics include electric bus charging management, depot charging operations, fleet electrification strategy, operational planning, charge management systems, system integration and the role of operational capability in maintaining service reliability and efficiency.
Tenix Talks is a video series exploring the operational, technical and commercial realities of bus electrification through conversations with experienced leaders from across the public transport industry. smoothly when you’re juggling a whole fleet of electric buses and the challenges that come with them.
